How Do You See Remote Working?

Too “Remote” to Work

Ludo Macheng

A 26-year-old Botswanan studying in Wuhan

Life under lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic has created a favorable moment for me to truly test the “remote working” theory and to this end, I for one, still remain skeptical. Let us be honest, remote working is about discipline, and how many of us truly have it? I’ll use the coronavirus shutdown as a simple example.

The home environment seems ideal to work in but is not conducive enough. Despite living in what is understood to be the “Internet of Things” or the “digital age” where everything is availed at the click of a button, including online learning, it just doesn’t work.

Should We Stop The Trend of ‘Feminization'?

In traditional Chinese thinking, women are supposed to be gentle and soft and men masculine. In recent years, however, the popularity of young male film and TV stars who appear to be “feminine” in their dressing, hair style and even mindset and their impact on the youth has led some to believe that the Chinese boys are not “masculine” enough.
