In recent years, the post-90s generation, who are unmarried and have no children, have begun to actively compete for the profession of confinement wife, giving up the traditional 9-to-5 job and choosing a career with more flexible working hours and good pay. For a generation of young people who are looking for freedom and independence, this choice is undoubtedly very attractive.
He Yuxi, 29, is one of the representatives of this group, graduating from a normal college in Hebei. Although her first-time parents wanted her to go to graduate school and enter the traditional teaching profession, He Yuxi was eager to pursue her own life trajectory. Two years ago, she told her family that she chose to become a confinement nanny, but she was "stunned and incomprehensible" by her family, which led to her family even refusing to go home for the Chinese New Year.
This decision not only shows the increasingly diverse views of this generation, but also highlights the pursuit of the post-90s generation to choose their own career and life. For He Yuxi's parents, they may not understand the reason why their daughter chose to be a confinement wife, but the existence of a generation gap is also reflected in this process. The conflict with the traditional professional concept of the family has forced He Yuxi to find and stick to his own lifestyle independently, which is also one of the common growth challenges faced by this generation.
He Yuxi's story may be just one of the many choices and challenges faced by the post-90s generation, but this courage and persistence in pursuing freedom and independence undoubtedly deserves our attention and affirmation. In the future, as more post-90s generations join this industry, the confinement nanny profession will be more recognized and respected, creating more diversified choices and development space for this generation of young people, and leading the trend of the times.
