Sanhe Gods

The Sanhe Gods (三和大神) are migrant day labourers in the Longhua district of Shenzhen, China. Their motto is "work one day, play three days (做一天玩三天)," and they often follow the lying flat (躺平) counterculture philosophy. This way of life has greatly influenced social media, where they have formed a distinct subculture with a strong online presence and network. Even though this media movement has been censored by the government, because it tarnishes the image of a prosperous and successful developing China, these platforms also serve as a cry for help, as many Sanhe Gods survive on just 2 RMB (less than $1) a day before returning to job hunting. The term "Sanhe Gods" is unique to Shenzhen, but a similar population exists in Beijing, Shanghai, Kunshan, and several other cities.
