Etymology
This term originated in Internet posts by users from China, especially on the microblogging site Weibo, around February 2020, and was popularized by a since-deleted April 2021 post in Mandarin with a title translated as “Lying Flat is Justice” by Luo Huazhong (under the username “Kind-hearted Traveller”) on the Internet forum Baidu Tieba, in which he discussed his reasons for living a low-key, minimalist lifestyle.
