While their country's leader has encouraged citizens to work harder and dream big, some Chinese millennials are declaring their allegiance to the art of being average.

中国一些千禧一代宣布他们甘于平庸，尽管他们的国家领导人鼓励国民们努力工作、怀有远大梦想。

Nicknamed "Buddhist Youth", these young people have embraced a laissez-faire approach to life.

这些年轻人被称为“佛系青年”，他们对生活持有放任的态度。

"Life is quite tiring," said 23-year-old Guo Jia, who believes being a Buddhist Youth means "accepting the things you cannot change and going with the flow".

“生活十分累人，”23岁的郭佳说。她认为，“佛系青年”意即“接受你无法改变的事情，随波逐流”。

As a viral Chinese social media post outlined, behaviours associated with the largely irreligious Buddhist Youth include eating the same food every day, allowing one's romantic partner to make all the decisions and being devoid of strong feelings about virtually everything.

与宗教无多大关系的“佛系青年”是中国社交媒体上的流行词，它的相关行为包括每天吃同样的东西，允许爱人做所有决定，对任何事情几乎都没强烈的感觉。

A Buddhist Youth wants nothing because she or he expects nothing - win or lose, adversity or good fortune, they accept it all.
