Recently, everyone is talking about the survival dilemma of women in the workplace, famous domestic actresses speak for women in the workplace who are housewives outside the play, and popular dramas are also broadcasting a variety of mature women in the workplace for many years, still tenaciously pursuing the peak of their careers.
In addition, we found that Generation Z (generally referring to the population born after 1996) girls also entered the society to start their careers. When it is not yet fully blooming into a flower, be brave and determined to show your true self. They seek themselves in the great waves of stars and challenge themselves in areas they have never touched.
This time, we would like to explore in particular the Generation Z girls who are known as the "crystals" of the new era. They are in the youth season, and one day they may encounter career bottlenecks in the future, but reading their stories will make people not forget their original intentions and recharge their youthful strength.
With the rise of women's sense of independence, women's spending power is also getting stronger and stronger. They are more willing to invest money in the growth of future generations, and the Z generation girls who appear in this environment have a more wanton growth space, as well as a broader vision of a rich life of experience, so that women are more confident.
In the hit "Girls Season", the young girl in her early 20s spoke strongly: "I may be the voice of my generation. Or at least a voice, of a generation.” (I might be the voice of this generation, or, at least, a voice of a generation.) ）”
# City Girl gives voice to all personality girls
The recent hit program "Children of Tomorrow" Crystal Age, a group of girls from Generation Z, with their own voices to attract a large number of fans, in a large number of young people "stars" to create their own small universe, they return to the "not impetuous" retro old song era, accuse the harm of online violence, leave music to comfort depressed patients, do this era has an attitude of the soul singer.
That's the power of Gen Z girls. Do not blindly follow the noise of the outside world, and do not easily change your true disposition because of the views of others. Girls Power comes from a strong inner self.
Women who struggle in society will always be labeled with various labels, because "she has strong work ability, so she can no longer be a housewife, because she was once a housewife, so her work ability must not be very good." According to the "2019 National Confidence and Attractiveness Survey" released by Southern Weekend, about 36% of Chinese women have encountered gender discrimination in their job search or in the workplace, and they often take a reclusive attitude towards such discrimination.

After coming to "Children of Tomorrow 3", the girl contestant Veegee was also labeled with labels and prejudices such as "European and American voice" and "strange voice". Veegee's style is actually not single, she knows more than a dozen styles of music like disco, reggae, hiphop and so on, and she often has a lot of ideas in her heart. She uses "retro, genius, neurosis" to describe herself, retro in dress, genius in art.
In the latest issue of "Children of Tomorrow 3" nine label competitions, her original song "Giant Ant" cooperated with Zhou Zhennan expressed her attitude of "tearing off the label".
"Giant Ants" was inspired by a group of ants she saw, and she denounced the harm caused by online violence: "I saw a bunch of ants in a relatively high place, and I thought that a lot of online violence is standing on the commanding heights to evaluate others, when we humans stand at the highest point, is it to crush them and make them smaller?" No one has that right. ”
She believes that observing society, but also a sense of responsibility as a singer, "I feel that now we need to do something for this era." Several of the players I admire are soulful and kind, and we can do something together. ”
Also not wanting to be defined by the label is the "retro girl" Hong Yinuo, in the recent "Children of Tomorrow" Crystal Age program, the cooperation with Zhang Yanqi is her first attempt at rap in her life.

Hong Yinuo previously won the highest score of 6 stars in the show performance with retro old songs. Later, when the score fell to 2 stars, he was criticized many times on the Internet.
Therefore, Hong Yinuo changed the style of the old songs in the past, and wanted to express his attitude of ignoring gossip and insisting on being self through rap, "I said everything I wanted to say, conveyed my views on the outside world, and I wanted to express my feelings of being very firm and rampage." No matter what people think of me, it will not affect me too much, I still do my own personality and be firm. ”
Bravely tearing off the label, those real "inner hardcores" really shine.
Last year LinkedIn a statistical analysis of 150,000 LinkedIn user profiles found that the first job after 70 was changed for an average of more than 4 years, about 3 and a half years after 80, while after 90 was only 19 months, and after 95, they chose to resign after only 7 months of service.
Rushing to achieve results is easy to lose yourself. As a female newcomer in the workplace, how to work from the bottom step by step to the commanding heights? How to balance self-expectations with social reality?

In "Children of Tomorrow 3", there are also players who represent many "grassroots girls", Su Beibei, in order to make money to subsidize the family, Su Beibei has traveled to Guangzhou since his sophomore year to perform commercial performances. The sparse applause of the guests on the stage made her doubt her own singing, and only when she was high-pitched could she attract their attention, no one cared what emotion she was singing with, and gradually she did not know how to express her feelings in singing.
After being enlightened by the program's mentors, she began to change her eagerness to perform badly, thinking about how to convey the emotional impact of a song on her. From the initial 2 stars, 3 stars, and then to 5 stars, she worked hard to change herself step by step, and proved with strength that commercial singers also have spring. After experiencing one blow after another, she still pursues and loves music as she did at the beginning, and infects the people around her with her natural funny cells.
Like 99% of ordinary people, northern Jiangsu often has the least resources, but they have the most genuine desire: "In this era, there are gifted minorities, I am ordinary in all aspects, and I have been misunderstood and ignored, but I must believe that I am a luminous body, which is irreplaceable." What I want to express is that we are all ordinary people, but as long as we feel that we are not ordinary, and work hard to seize every opportunity, your life will become meaningful. You can seek stability, but don't give up on your dreams. ”
Young girls are always innocently labeled with various labels: Buddhist girls who have no waves in their hearts, magic girls who will never be tolerated, middle-aged girls with aging bodies, cute pigs and pigs, beautiful girls with high looks, mothers who are overly dependent on their parents, and yuanqi girls with large nerves...
In fact, "girl" has nothing to do with age. Adolescent girls in the flower season may also live a decadent and negative life, and middle-aged women who are not confused can also be naïve and romantic, still holding idealism to pursue themselves. The dreams and characteristics of Gen Z girls may exist in every woman.
Just like the unique power that the Ming sisters showed through the stage of the crystal age of "Children of Tomorrow": the original ability of the universe, the firm self in gossip, the use of strengths to show a variety of styles of themselves, the psychology of the social crowd, and not underestimating the grassroots strength of many ordinary girls, these are the reasons why they are justified in front of the world.
They are no longer defined by anyone, who to follow, they are all in their own world, becoming role models for their own pursuits.
