The discussion began when a user named "关爱打工人" posted a video on Weibo, expressing solidarity with those who have to return to work after the holiday. They described feeling listless and unmotivated, with their mind still at home in bed. The post received numerous responses from others who shared similar feelings of exhaustion and disorientation after returning to work.
One user, "小五同学," described the experience of feeling "like you" when returning to work, feeling empty and disconnected. Similarly, another user named "YI余生有你95" posted a video of a panda bear in uniform, suggesting that they too felt like the panda guard was not excited about going back to work.
DJGEELY also weighed in on the discussion, joking that the only difference between those who are sick and those who have no money is that the latter does not have any illnesses. Meanwhile, "圈神探" quipped that the state of post-holiday blues was a permanent one.
Some users shared their more serious struggles with re-adjusting to work after the holiday. For example, "兴安大叔" described feeling lost and disoriented upon returning to work, while "Reend80s" made a humorous reference to the struggles of working every day.
Even the Chinese Meteorological Department joined in on the discussion, posting a meme that suggested it was possible that one user had suffered memory loss due to the post-holiday blues. Overall, the viral discussion highlights the shared experiences and emotions of those who are returning to work after the holiday season.
