make most people break in an instant? One sentence is enough.
"Are you okay, you slim dog?"
This typical aggressive sentence that was born in the fitness circle has become a popular online meme in 2022, largely because it hits the pain points of contemporary young people.
Can you do it? Will you? Do you dare? ——It can be regarded as the three major soul questions of contemporary young people.
Born as a human being, you can be Buddhist and can be used to make trouble, but you must never say that you can't do it.
But only with this problem, young people who are strong all their lives probably need to think back and forth in their minds.
, do you really know how to play?
is not an emperor who knows how to "play" or is not the number one player. I chose to confess: I am 25 years old this year, and my biggest confusion is that I "can't play".
Even Mario has been updated and upgraded, but I still don’t know how to play.
In 2022, play some new things
In early December, the China Tourism Research Institute released the "China Leisure Development Annual Report (2022-2023)" to summarize what we have "played" this year.
report shows that leisure has become the first choice for the public after physiological activities and work. As leisure time increases, the proportion of cultural and leisure also rises sharply.
In addition to traditional consumer shopping leisure activities, watching movies, exhibitions, and going to bookstores and libraries ranks second, and home leisure has become the last choice.
"Go out and go out and wander!" obviously became everyone's tacit understanding. Compared to a long journey that can be easily accepted by the public, outdoor fun is the best solution for economical and affordable fun.
In my lifetime, I want to try this "way to go out". / "The Witch's House"
For example, "Agateman" is no longer the exclusive title of middle-aged men, and young people have begun to become the main force. You can find "fishing youth" anytime, anywhere when you walk through rivers, streams, lakes, ponds, and even a big puddle that appears after the rain.
Young people who love animal anthropomorphism can "shape their dogs" even if they can't catch fish, and perform a frisbee sport, and turn them into "happy puppy" on the lawn on the spot.
But when it comes to the leader of outdoor activities in 2022, there must be only one king - camping.
According to iMedia Research data, the core market size of China's camping economy reached 74.75 billion yuan in 2021, and is expected to rise to 248.32 billion yuan in 2025.
How crazy are young people about camping? Look, all the games like "Camping Simulator" have been completed.
As long as it is a flat land, it can become the stationing point of the camping army. Camping has become today, not only has it been played with in a variety of ways, but it has more of a taste beyond "playing".
In the more than 4 million "camping" notes on Xiaohongshu, compared to simply sharing camping fun experience, showing off expensive new equipment, exquisite tent dressing strategies, how to take the most beautiful photos of internet celebrities, and other content that has nothing to do with "playing" has become the focus.
When camping becomes a promising business in blue ocean , forming an increasingly large consumption chain, the chain of contempt is quietly emerging, and the further away from the original intention of real camping. The more new things we have, the less we seem to be able to enjoy the "play" itself purely.
Yang Li complained on "Talk Show 5". Many people claimed that they wanted to decompress through fishing, but in fact they were just to post it on WeChat Moments.
What are you going to do today? fishing! / Internet screenshot
Once, she saw 20 people only caught one fish in an afternoon, and each of them took turns to take photos with the fish and posted them on WeChat Moments, even though the fish was not caught by themselves.
Many people have not even learned to play the correct posture of frisbee , but they have already joined this movement with impure social purposes. "Commerce Bureau", "Blind Dating Bureau", "Social Bureau", as long as they can take a perfect photo in the end, it will be a successful "frisbee".
Outdoor sports led by camping seem to have become a siege about "playing" in 2022.People inside the wall may not have fun; people outside the wall may lose their "player qualifications" - they can't even follow the trend, can they still play?
Does anyone still remember that in the process of "playing", the most important thing is to find your rose buds. / "Player No. 1"
Who is defining the game?
In the traditional Chinese cognition, "playing" is a thing that is harmful but not beneficial. Who had never recited the sentence "Han Yu when he was a child, "Essence in career is diligent, and wasteful in play"?
In 2021, the Chinese team EDG won the championship of League of Legends Global Finals . In a carnival, the once ununderstood e-sports has become a decent career that is accepted and recognized by the public.
, which was originally regarded as "not doing his job", can also create huge value.
After winning the championship in EDG, the official account, Guanli, published an article, correcting the name of "the 'play' that is not valued or even stigmatized".

Philosopher Han Bingzhe described the society of the 21st century as a "society society" - a competitive and performance-led society. In a society of merit, playing is OK, provided that you have to work hard and even need to obtain certain benefits and results.
Only by "working hard" can you "play well". Playing and work are placed opposite. In an environment where efficiency is paramount, playing represents pleasure and inadequate work.
"The longer we are immersed in the society of merit, the longer we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we should be a huge carnival to make up for the hard work and depression at work. And the excessive expectation of play will focus our demand for play on the stimulation and pleasure."
Young people entangled with KPIs seek excitement in play, which can be seen from the emerging gameplay: script killing, escape room, and even outdoor play such as camping, pay attention to "playing" with timely feedback. The stimulation of
script killing is not only on the scene, but also on the theater. / " becomes famous and has a million "
These instantly started and instantly satisfied entertainment activities are more like the "mental analgesics" that young people inject into themselves after finishing their high-intensity work.
When "playing" becomes a compensation, we cannot digest these time of play into our own spiritual perception. In this era of unprecedentedly rich and omnipresent entertainment, the gameplay we can experience is becoming more and more abundant, but life experience is becoming less and less.
On November 14, the official account of Lonely Planet magazine announced that the December 2022 issue will be the last issue of the Chinese version of "Lonely Planet" magazine and will be officially suspended next year.
The famous author of "Lonely Planet", the Wheeler and his wife, have a saying that travel is a human nature and the nature of living things on earth.

"In the journey, human genius and wisdom are fully utilized. During the journey, there are novel feelings, magical discoveries, changes in life, and transcendence in life. Real travel is a life experience."
Choose the way to travel, and it is also the way we choose our own lifestyle.
Amid the many regrets of "My Youth Killing", there is a fallacy: "Lonely Planet"'s Chinese version of the closure seems to be "a matter of time" because we don't need a "play guide".
For example, before the appearance of "Lonely Planet", we actually had a more popular travel bestseller - "Xu Xiake's Travels".
Any search on the Internet is all Xu Xiake’s same travel route map.
"Xu Xiake's visit here" all have reasons to develop it into tourist attractions, but compared to "check in to the same attractions as Xu Xiake", what everyone is more interested in is "How much does it cost to become a traveler today"?
New Weekly once put forward a point in the issue of "Tourist Empire": Although China is rich in tourists, most people in this "Tourist Empire" cannot even learn how to play.
"Whether broadening your horizons or experiencing culture, Chinese tourists seem to learn first, how to play."
play is shameless and useful
Writer Hara Estroff Marano believes that playing is a self-defined exercise. It reveals what we choose to do, not what we have to do.
We play not only play, but also try to grow into the person we want to be in our own way.

In the entertainment that does not seek utilitarianism, we are seriously reaching the life we desire.
Interview variety show "DV Plan" initiated by Jiang Sida . In each episode, he will take a DV as his only recording device to visit different celebrities' homes. In this episode of "The Business Champion", Jiang Sida found Huang Jue because this is the "most playful person" he knows.
Huang Jue, who is very good at playing, was talking about his new hobby in the last second, indoor golf , and the next second, he would give up trying because of several consecutive failed swings.

"played so many things, but he felt that he was actually quite boring. "This is the most common comment under that episode of video.
Huang Jue's "playing" Weibo daily routine.
has played so much, but he still doesn't know how to play when he returns. Playing "shallow" is the norm for each of us.
But whether it is in depth or interesting is all definitions given by the outside world. A person who really only wants to please himself will not care at all. If "shallow" play can bring happiness, it means that playing is meaningful.
Lenore Terr, clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco, in "Beyond Love and Work: Why Adults Need to Play" pointed out that playing is not just an activity, but also a state of mind, which can release people's emotions in a way that almost does not bring risks.
play is the beginning of our life.
Guizhou people Lu Qingyi decided to shoot the documentary "Four Springs " in 2015. At that time, he was 42 years old and had been "drifting in Beijing" for nearly 30 years. He tried various tasks: painting, playing football, publishing and editing, miners, advertising design, photography.

"Four Springs" documentary films the daily life of Lu Qingyi's parents. Today, it has a score of 8.8 on Douban, and more than 160,000 people have watched it.
Peking University Sociology professor Qu Jingdong commented that it is "not a creation, but a life experience". It uses the lens to experience life, so that we can see that the life of Chinese people is "repeated and repeated".
Life is a cycle of repeated cycles, but it can still burst out with infinite vitality. Lu Qingyi only did one very simple thing: "I am full of curiosity about this world, and I came to this world for fun. ”
Make "playing" a major event in our life. When a seagull facing the sea and blooming in spring, you can spread your wings and set off at any time, but more importantly - let's go to the dock to get some fries first.
