"吃苦" means bear poor conditions (maybe, it hard to translate for me) "吃苦" is considered a good character, and you’d better have it. In China, they even have a maxim about "吃苦" that says "吃得苦中苦，方为人上人".

( Translate by AI tools: 1. Only by enduring the greatest hardships can one become the best of men. 2. Only by enduring the deepest hardships can one rise above their original social class.)

It's hard to translate, I'd like to demonstrate with code:

if(you '吃苦' && '吃苦' && '吃苦' && '吃苦' && '吃苦' ){ You will have a better future. You will have a good job and a good career. You will get to a higher level than others. ..... }

Sometimes "吃苦 & 吃得苦中苦，方为人上人" encourages people to overcome difficulties. Keep going and conquer it.

But it contains a logical flaw: it treats "吃苦" as a necessary even the only key for success.

In recent years, some young people have changed "吃得苦中苦，方为人上人" to ""吃得苦中苦，一直要吃苦", which means: If you used to "吃苦", you get stuck in this quagmire of "吃苦", you will always need "吃苦" (on the other side, someone enjoys life on your behalf)

They "comprehended" that maybe "吃苦" was been designed. It's "designed" to drives low-level people to bear poor conditions and overcome difficult problems and hard work. but as a low-level young people they found that "only themself 吃苦 and other people enjoy ". It's not fair, maybe it's wrong. So they change the maxim.

Young people start thinking, not just follow.
