"Being worked to exhaustion in a system that demands complacent "maturity" while desperately desiring reconnection with one's childhood and the freedom from responsibility and judgement to be innocently enthusiastic and joyful again/and that forcing yourself to try and be happy doesn't work" is exclusive to a singular ethnic group?
Hm.
Yeah no bud, that's kinda verging on a universal narrative. It's kind of a "literally everywhere on Earth in the 21st century" vibe, actually.
In fact I'm pretty sure it's older than English or Guānhuà altogether.
If you ever wanna feel a sort of vertigo-inducing catastrophic awareness of impermanence, go read translations of all the texts we found at [b]Deir el-Medina.[/b]
It's just blue collar Ancient Egyptian folks complaining about how they don't get to spend time with their friends anymore and that their workboss pushes them too hard, that they barely make enough to feed their kids, that they worry they're not pushing [i]themselves[/i] hard enough. A whole village's worth of griping, commiserating, and bantering.
Literally the first recorded labor strike in history occurred there! In Ancient Egypt! In 1170 BC!
And they won! The Pharoah caved to a buncha farmers!
People haven't changed a bit in 3000 years, and by my money, they never will.
Bro i recognize Olafur Arnalds' music
This is a really good animation, and a lot of the feelings break through the language barrier.
[section=Translation (Rough)]
Boss: If you can't finish it, work overtime.
I value you
I gave you so much life
[b]It's your blessing[/b]
Don't let me down
Yellow Egg: Wow! Beautiful wolf-fish!
You're awake.
I know young people are under a lot of pressure.
But you can't commit suicide.
Wolf: I didn't commit suicide. I was just careless.
[i]Device has "Happiness Detector" written on it[/i]
Yellow Egg: You are not happy.
What a coincidence
Our Egg Boy Island is a cure for unhappiness
After doing this, you're guaranteed to be happy
[i]Paper is titled "Daily Service" with the items:
Petting: 10 times
Swing: 30 times
Catching puffer-fish: 20 items
Parkour: 20 laps
Ferris wheel: 10 circles[/i]
Yellow Egg: That's weird... I know!
It must be we're not doing enough!
Complete these monthly tasks, that will be effective!
...Where did you go?
Strawberry Egg: What game are you playing?
Wolf: Help me.
Yellow Egg: Stop!
Follow me and complete your tasks!
Wolf: Working for a living is hard enough, why do I have to complete tasks when playing games?
In this case, take this! It's quite useful for catching me!
Yellow Egg: Don't run!
Stop!
You have no way out
Wolf: Let's have a showdown
Young wolves: You're so old, but you still need your mother to play with you? How shameful!
Mother: Haha, silly child, even if one day you grow up to be taller than your mother, you can still be a child in front of your mother.
Yellow Egg: I won
Just be a good boy...
Wolf: Thank you, for bringing me back to my childhood
Yellow Egg: Self-destruct
[i]Prompt reads:
Warning
Destroyed items cannot be restored
Are you sure? [Confirm/Cancel]
[/i]
Yellow Egg: Thank you too, for letting me know that happiness doesn't have to come from tasks.
Let's go! I'll take you back!
[i]Ending:
Even when you grow up, don't forget the child in your heart
Egg Party 3rd Anniversary
[/i]

Agreed, I feel that a lot of the emotions get through. 💕
