Show notes
Welcome to 听故事说中文, the podcast where stories come alive to help you improve your Chinese language proficiency and cultural competency.
Have you ever felt like someone was watching you? For Pipi, a 32-year-old working in Beijing, that feeling became a literal reality overnight. Her company, struggling with declining profits, decided to install high-tech AI surveillance—cameras that don't just record video, but analyze exactly how long you're at your desk and even if you look like you're daydreaming.
Management hoped this "digital boss" would spark a new wave of productivity. Instead, the office went silent. Genuine collaboration was replaced by anxiety and a quiet, collective resistance known as "lying flat."
In today's episode, we follow Pipi as she navigates an environment where trust has been replaced by algorithms. It's a fascinating look at the modern workplace, the limits of technology, and the universal human need for dignity.
Let's dive into the story and see why Pipi believes that true efficiency can't be forced by a camera.
