感觉身体被掏空！| Song strikes a chord with overworked professionals
Singers wearing solemn black suits look seriously into the camera.
You may think they are about to perform a piece of classical music, until their cat ears give them away.
And as they start to sing, you may be surprised not only by the lyrics but by the animal noises made for fun throughout the performance.
The song, called So Far, the Sofa is So Far, uses daily life in Beijing as a backdrop for complaints about overtime work among office workers.
Since it was released on Sina Weibo on July 27, it got 3 million clicks within 7 hours.
The band, Shanghai Rainbow Indoor Chorus, consists of young people from many walks of life, including programmers, designers and accountants, as well as graduate students in anthropology, chemistry and gourmet food.
"This is a musical work that touches a raw nerve with workers. By exposing young people's exhaustion through ridicule, we aim to reduce their pressure in an interesting manner," composer Jin Chengzhi said.
Some netizens said the self-deprecating sentiments in the tune struck a chord with them, while others said they have been brainwashed by the melody and felt a sudden impulse to quit their jobs and relax.
"The series of songs from the band changed my impression of the chorus. High art can also be combined with mass culture. A successful artwork can always reflect the happiness and sorrow of the general public," Sina Weibo user Purple-sagittarius said.
It is just another way that young people in China have expressed their attitudes toward life.
"Young Chinese seem to enjoy finding happiness in suffering. However, after throwing crazy and entertaining parties, getting back into reality for a better life is the universal truth that never changes," an English teacher working in Beijing said.

7 Things You Notice When You Arrive in China
The grey sky, crowded streets, new languages. These are some things that you should immediately notice when you arrive in China. But have you looked around to see what else is different? Some examples are like taxis and people.
1. Friends hold hands
Unlike Western societies where people only hold hands when they are in a romantic relationship, in China you will often see many people holding hands. Especially younger girls in groups. They may not be in a romantic relationship and are just good friends. But they express their friendship by holding hands and sticking close together.
2. People sit in the front seats of taxis
In many taxis driving by you can see that the passenger seat is always occupied. This is because people in China sit in the passenger seat, next to the driver. They driver also has a clear plastic protection that wraps around their seat. Unlike western culture, the back seat is almost always empty.
3. There are less pregnant women
Seeing pregnant people in China is more rare than in the United States. This could because of the former One Child policy, but when we first saw a pregnant women we were surprised. You do tend to occasionally see a future mother but its much more rare than you’d think
4. People cover their skin from the sun
Something you’ll definitely notice is that even in the 40 degrees weather you’ll see people all covered up with separate sleeves, crazy get-ups or other kind of articles of clothing that people use to cover their skin from the sun. In China it is best to be light and pale because it’s considered beautiful, whereas in the west people spend thousands of dollars to look tan.
5. Men carry women’s purses
Men carrying the purses and bags of their significant others is really common. At the mall in a women’s store you’ll definitely see aman sitting or standing waiting for their significant others purse while they browse.
6. QR codes are actually helpful
QR codes are the best things in China. From advertisements to plane tickets to paying for a meal or even a piece of gum at 7-11. In the West QR codes are the opposite of the best.
7. Meal delivery is a breeze
Another amazing thing China is great at is meal delivery.When you first arrive you’ll see guys in colorful uniforms on scotters. Theyare not actual angels but they are truly considered one. They work for a largefast meal delivery service that feeds China. Any day and time you just use their app and click the button and they can deliver you food.
