好嗨哟

Born from a viral 2017 video of a woman enthusiastically declaring her life feels 'so high,' this phrase exploded as both a genuine expression of excitement and a deadpan ironic cry of the overworked and underpaid. Think of it as China's version of 'living my best life' — except often said with maximum sarcasm after pulling an all-nighter or surviving yet another soul-crushing Monday.

In 2017, a short video clip of a woman euphorically shouting about how amazing she felt went massively viral on Chinese social media. Young people, facing intense work pressure and economic anxiety under '996' work culture, quickly adopted it ironically to mock the gap between the exhausting grind of daily life and the forced positivity society expected of them.
