Are you a “加班汪” (jiā bān wāng)?

Long working hours are a way of life in China, no matter what the industry is. According to one estimate by a researcher at Beijing Normal University, Chinese workers log an average of 2,000-2,200 working hours each year – far higher than their counterparts in the United States (1,790 hours per year), the Netherlands (1,419), Germany (1,371) and even Japan (1,719), according to OECD statistics. 

长时间的工作在中国已经成为一种生活方式，所有行业都难以幸免。根据北京师范大学的一位研究人员的估测数据，中国的员工每年工作时间平均在2000到2200小时，比美国员工（年均1790小时）、荷兰员工（年均1419小时）、德国员工（1371小时），甚至是日本员工（1719小时）都要长，以上数据来源于经合组织。

Working overtime is annoying, but they have to work overtime due to the great stress from increasing living cost and fierce competition. "加班汪" (jiā bān wāng) refers to the white-collar workers who often work overtime. 

加班很烦人，但他们不得不加班，主要来自不断攀升的生活成本和激烈的竞争。“加班汪”指的是对那些经常加班的白领的虐称。

In one video that went viral this summer, an amateur Shanghai choir devoted a tongue-in-cheek song to their status as "overtime dogs" entitled "My Body Is Hollowed Out". (So far, the sofa is so far)

在今年夏天中国流行的一段视频中，上海一支业余合唱团演唱了一首献给“加班狗”的搞笑歌曲《感觉身体被掏空》。
