Since the song has gone viral, discussions of "post-90s employees" have also cropped up online.
Some people think China's post-90s generation are becoming more individualistic and good at challenging authority, while others think the generation is not mature enough to be involved in the job market.
Whatever the prevailing opinion might be, it is true young Chinese enjoy more freedom of expression, career and lifestyle choices than any generation in the country's history.
According to a job-hopping survey conducted among 150,000 employees by US-based networking website LinkedIn, China's post-1995s, who have barely entered the job market, quit their jobs earlier than previous generations.
The conclusion is in line with popular sayings that spread on the internet several months ago.
The sayings, adopted from Japanese drama Ossan's Love, are roughly translated as "Don't shout to the young people at daily work, or they will resign immediately — but you can smash those middle-aged people, especially those who have cars and houses, as they will continue to work for you after criticism."
