Budaya kerja "9 to 9 and 6" yang umum di kalangan pekerja China mencerminkan semangat keras dan dedikasi untuk mencapai kesuksesan. Namun, dampak negatif terhadap keseimbangan kerja dan kehidupan serta kesejahteraan individu tidak dapat diabaikan. Penting bagi individu, perusahaan, dan pemerintah untuk mencari keseimbangan yang tepat antara produktivitas, kesejahteraan, dan kualitas hidup. Dengan demikian, mereka dapat menciptakan budaya kerja yang mendukung pertumbuhan berkelanjutan tanpa mengorbankan kesejahteraan pekerja.
