China Youth Daily Client News (China Youth Daily, China Youth Network Reporter Jiang Xiaobin) Use a Chinese character to mark your 2023, what will it be?What's the story behind it?In the "Top 10 Online Terms of 2023" released by the National Language Resources Monitoring and Research Center on December 12, the word "new professional" was selected.
"New professionals" is the concept first mentioned by Zhihu at the "2023 Zhihu Discovery Conference" in April this year, which refers to practitioners with corresponding knowledge, experience and skills in a certain field. They are professional and believe in professionalism, which is the supporting force of Chinese society and the talent dividend in the AI era. During Zhihu's "Chinese Inventory 2023" event, the annual Chinese characters of the new employees not only cover observations in the fields of economy, society, culture, science and technology, but also ordinary thoughts about life, learning and Xi.
