Beijing: A heart attack at Changsha Railway Station in Hunan Province brought a 40-year-old man who complained of work-related stress and pressure to life in front of a sudden heart attack at a 40-year-old man in a choking incident. When he regained consciousness, his first thought was, “Need to get to work quickly.” It happened on the last day of public holidays for the Spring Festival, as the man waited in line to board a train.
He was due to board a high-speed train when the heart attack occurred. SOZ from the South China Morning Post reported that station staff summoned a doctor from the health centre. About 20 minutes later, the man woke up, and all he wanted to do was go to work. He said: “I don’t want to go to hospital,” he started to argue with the paramedics.
Advice from Manned Former Daily: A doctor on duty begged the man to refrain from going away and said his condition could be serious and would need to be looked at properly. The doctor also said that another heart attack could be deadly. At first, the man resisted and did not want to go to the hospital, but later agreed to get in the ambulance for an examination.
China Work Loaded Internet Debate Following this particular incident, the Internet loaded in China with the controversy of outward bound work stress and economic burden. As this incident was reported, many users have referred to it as the epitome of the growing work pressure in China. Another user commented, “He woke up and the first thing he thought about was money. This one is emotionally charged,” said. A user replied, “We are all probably experiencing the same stress. Everyone has to balance home loans, kids schooling and other expenses.”
Emerging Arbeitskultur und Stress in China Lange Arbeitszeiten und schwierige Arbeitsbedingungen sind in China ein großes Problem. Tons of people are obliged to put in long hours and are in constant pursuit to maintain balance. This is just one example of the extent to which work is taking precedence over health — many believe there is increasing pressure in China’s work culture.
The China incident has brought forward the rising tensions of work-related stress and economic pressure. Though the man is straight out of his own circumstance — he has to go to work no matter what — it does point to that rising work pressure leads to worsening health for society/type of vibe.
