奋斗逼

A 奋斗逼 is someone so fanatically devoted to grinding and overworking that they can't shut up about it — and worse, they make everyone around them feel lazy by comparison. Think the colleague who brags about sleeping four hours, skips every holiday, and frames their burnout as a personality trait. The term is part mockery, part warning label: equal-opportunity cringe whether you're calling someone else out or ruefully admitting you've become one.

The term emerged as China's '996' work culture (9am–9pm, six days a week) drew fierce public backlash. Young workers caught between sky-high housing costs and intense job competition began lampooning both the system and those who evangelized overwork as virtue. 奋斗逼 captures the collective eye-roll at hustle culture dressed up as moral superiority.

指那些极度痴迷于努力工作、加班，并以此为荣，甚至强迫周围人也跟着拼命的人。
