First of all, as the world's most populous country, China's competitive pressure is huge, and with the development of the economy, the pursuit of success and material is increasing, in order to stand out from the competition, people have to put in more efforts, long hours of work, so that our quality of life is significantly affected.

Thousands of years of traditional Chinese culture have profoundly influenced people's behavior and way of thinking. In Confucian culture, people do not live for themselves, but for their parents, their families, and society, and it can even be said that people live for their own social evaluation. As a result, people are afraid of other people's low evaluation of themselves, and they are afraid of being considered by others as failures, irresponsible, and unfilial. If there are many things to be afraid of, it is natural to live tired. It is believed that hard work is seen as a virtue and that success can only be achieved through struggle. Many young people have to care for their children and elderly parents at the same time, and many families spend a lot of money on their children's education, including paying high school fees and attending various training courses. Problems such as insufficient medical resources, high medical costs, and difficulty in seeking medical treatment are still widespread. Many people are faced with the dilemma of difficulty in seeing a doctor and expensive medicines, especially in chronic diseases and critical diseases**, medical expenses can become a huge burden on the family economy, etc., thus increasing their own financial and mental burden.

Reform.

In the 40 years since opening up, China has made tremendous achievements in economic development, but the gap between the rich and the poor has become more significant. Urban-rural disparities, regional disparities, and unequal income distribution have led to some people living in affluence, while others are still living in poverty. This disparity exacerbates social injustice. There are also groups that may face problems such as employment discrimination, unfair education, and low social status due to gender, race, region, etc., and find it difficult to obtain due rights and opportunities, so as to feel the hardships and injustices of life. Despite the continuous improvement of China's legal system, the protection of legal rights is still insufficient in some places and fields. Some people may find it difficult to obtain due legal protection due to lack of legal knowledge or low power status, resulting in their legitimate rights and interests being violated and unable to be safeguarded in a timely manner. Most people also lack enough rest and recreation, which leads to tiredness, anxiety and depression. Recent social phenomena have also confirmed these conclusions.

To sum up, we now feel that life is hard and tiring, affected not only by structural factors such as demographic pressure, competition, life, traditional culture, and the gap between the rich and the poor, but also by institutional problems such as social injustice and insufficient protection of legal rights. Solving these problems requires the joint efforts of the whole society to build a more equitable, harmonious and rule-of-law social environment, and provide better development opportunities and livelihood security for everyone.
