在中共喉舌大力宣传“躺平有罪”的同时，“昨天”项目统计到，在4月26日至28日的三天内，便有四名外卖员被活活累死在送餐途中。在浙江金华，一名女外卖员被累哭后表示：“真的不建议大家来跑外卖，很累很幸苦。当牲口，当这种不被定义的牲口。”
At the same time that Chinese state media was cranking up its propaganda campaign against “lying flat,” the “Yesterday” project documented a grim reality: four delivery workers collapsed and died from overwork within just three days (April 26-28). In Jinhua, Zhejiang, one female worker wept as she shared her struggle: “I honestly wouldn’t suggest anyone join this industry. It’s so tiring, so hard. You’re just an animal—a nameless, faceless beast of burden.”
