A bizarre new trend that involves Chinese youths tucking their hands into oversized t-shirts and perching on household objects to mimic a bird is taking over social media. The message behind this trend is, however, more sad than obnoxious. The act is sort of a protest against China's infamous "996" work system that requires employees to work from 9:00am to 9:00pm, six days a week. This work system is in place in many companies despite being illegal under labor laws.
