China gets ‘Dislike Going to Work' clinic: Here's how it helps burnt-out workers
China has come up with a unique solution to address work-related anxiety and depression in burnt-out employees – a 'Dislike Going to Work' clinic. This clinic in Hebei province in northern China has gained widespread attention from social media users across the globe. The 'Dislike Going to Work' clinic is an offshoot of the earlier 'Dislike Going to School' clinic, which focused on helping parents address their children's aversion to school by treating underlying academic stress and emotional challenges. Parents who had previously taken their children to the school clinic proposed the idea for the 'Dislike Going to Work' clinic. 'Previously, when children came to the 'Dislike Going to School' clinic, some parents would ask if there was a similar service for adults who do not want to go to work,' said Yue Limin, director of the hospital's Sleep and Psychology Department and head of the clinic. The 'Dislike Going to Work' clinic aims to help people who struggle with fatigue, exhaustion, emotional instability, or have a general sense that their work is meaningless. 'But if we label it directly as anxiety or depression, some patients may feel stigma,' said Yue. She said the initiative was started in the hope that patients would be able to walk into the consultation room without feeling any pressure. 'These surface symptoms often stem from complex psychological or social factors. Our role as professionals is to identify the cause, conduct a systematic assessment and diagnosis, and then provide treatment and support,' Yue said. The diagnosis process at 'Dislike Going to Work' clinic involves interviews to assess the overall emotional state of patients and physical examinations to rule out organic conditions such as hyperthyroidism. The hospital then develops a personalised treatment plan for each patient. Yue noted that the actual number of patients is relatively low, despite the nationwide attention.

World Premiere of the 'Quintet of Liangzhu Civilization' Animated Shorts on Liangzhu Day
HANGZHOU, China, July 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The annual "Hangzhou Liangzhu Day" returned on July 6, 2025! On July 7, a new animated short series, "The Quintet of Liangzhu Civilization", was released to audiences worldwide. Jointly presented by the Hangzhou Liangzhu Archaeological Site Administrative District Management Committee and the China Center for International Communication Development, and produced by the Central Academy of Fine Arts, this groundbreaking series brings the Liangzhu civilization to life through five distinct shorts, Pottery, Jade, Stone, Agriculture, and Fire, each spotlighting a key element of Liangzhu culture. Five artistic genres—watercolor, colored pencil, printmaking, ink wash, and paper-cutting—infuse each episode with a unique visual identity, telling the stories of Liangzhu's five-thousand-year legacy. It is a fusion of Chinese animation with archaeology, history, and culture, representing a pioneering model in civilizational narrative. The series celebrates the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City, the sacred proof of China's continuous five-millennia civilization, by animating the richness and unique charm of Liangzhu culture. Based on robust historical sources, it not only reconstructs Liangzhu's glory and daily realities, but also portrays the nuanced journeys of characters and their interactions with the civilization's core elements, pottery, jade, stone, agriculture, and fire. The shorts unfold stories about how the young potter "Ye" and the jade worker "Yue" grew; how "Ben" found renewed purpose as a stonemason during his daily practice after his father's passing; and how the Shuyi couple lived a harmonious life. The series reaches its climax as all five protagonists unite within the Liangzhu City to confront a devastating granary fire, weaving together inventive, emotionally resonant tales. With a focus on the features of Liangzhu culture, this series creates a new production paradigm by integrating culture, art, and technology. It harnesses AI technologies during pre-production to refine character and scene design, ensuring a faithful reflection of Liangzhu's cultural heritage. The commitment to hand-drawn artistry, which pairs sophisticated brushwork with Chinese visual language, brings out the Liangzhu cultural flavor in everything from headgear to architecture. Each episode's visual identity is tailored to its specific narrative, breathing new life into these Liangzhu stories.

Oasis superfan sells concert ticket after Liam Gallagher's 'unacceptable' tweet
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info An Oasis superfan was left "completely heartbroken" and opted to flog her ticket to the band's kick-off gig following frontman Liam Gallagher's controversial, now-deleted social media post containing an offensive phrase. The 52-year-old Mancunian rocker became the target of backlash after dropping a racial slur on X. The offending tweet, which ridiculed languages spoken by people from East Asia or those of East Asian heritage, prompted immediate reactions online, with one supporter admonishing him: "Liam, you can't say that". Following the uproar, Liam swiftly pulled down the post and put up an apology. His tweet read: "Sorry if I offended anyone with my tweet before it wasn't intentional you know I love you all and I do not discriminate. Peace and love LG x". Nevertheless, some admirers find themselves disenchanted by the incident. For Yue Xiong, originally from Shanghai and now living London, Oasis's tunes have been a lifeline since her teens, declaring the songs "saved [her] life". Yet she felt Liam's comment was "completely not acceptable". Consequently, the Goldsmiths scholar decided to sell her Live '25 tour launch night pass for Cardiff, slated for July 4. The 23-year-old student also decided to head to Cardiff on Thursday to stage a demonstration. "I've been I've been a huge fan since 2017," she told Wales Online. "All of my adolescence I was just listening to Oasis – it got me through life and the music really saved my life. "But I kind of stopped being a fan two days ago because what Liam said is completely not acceptable. As an Asian and as a Chinese person I could not deal with it just by keeping silent and accepting what he was saying." (Image: GETTY) She continued: "I just can't participate in that anymore. Otherwise it will be disrespectful for my own community where I come from." Yue also expressed her disappointment at the silence over Liam's remarks, saying: "I felt people would need to speak up about it. So if no-one talks about it it just adds more pressure to everything. But I felt the need to say something. It is not okay for someone to say something extremely racial, targeting an Asian community, on a social platform." Yue added that she had sold her ticket on Wednesday, following the incident, as a "gesture" – two days before she was due to attend the Cardiff gig. Though saddened by parting with her ticket, she admitted she would have been "completely heartbroken" if she went to the show. As a dedicated fan who had met Noel Gallagher several times, Yue apologised to the musician for missing the Cardiff concert, clarifying her respect for him and his work remains. Despite Liam's apology, Yue felt it fell short of addressing the issue properly. "It was not sincere," she said. "It was not really an apology. I see it more as a PR strategy but it's not even enough for a PR move because what he said was extremely controversial and when people pointed it out he said: 'Whatever'. "He didn't see it as a problem. He then deleted that tweet. So he definitely feels it is not appropriate for him to say anything like that." Despite deciding against attending the concert, Yue made her way to Cardiff the day before the show to stage a protest. Explaining her motivation for the protest, she said: "The C-word is not acceptable in any circumstances. "If Liam said the N-word or anything against transgender people the media would stand up for that community. But it seems like it's okay for people to treat and make fun of the Asian community like that. "[The protest] is not coming out as an attack to Oasis but it's about defending our own right – it's about speaking up for our own community. It's about making the world right again. My partner, he's white, his friends and people in the industry found it not acceptable. But they were just really surprised as nobody said anything about it. "I've been talking to loads in the Chinese community fan groups. They're completely shattered, they're completely heartbroken." Oasis are set to rock Cardiff's Principality Stadium with gigs scheduled for Friday, July 4, and Saturday, July 5, as fans descend on the Welsh capital for the much-anticipated event.
