It's not just exhaustion. It's your body coming down from weeks dialed up to eleven, crash-landing straight into the office. On the show: Steve, Fei Fei & Yushan

  • Discussion keeps the world turning.

  • You're listening to Round Table.

  • I'm Steve today with Yushan and Fei-Fei.

  • Coming up, once the fireworks fade away and the tables clear, something shifts.

  • It changes.

  • Your thoughts crawl.

  • Your energy tanks, and that familiar heaviness settles in.

  • But it's not just about exhaustion.

  • It's your body coming down from weeks of being dialed up to eleven,

  • and it's your brain returning to the office.

  • We'll see if we can figure out how to get over that fear.

  • Our podcast listeners can find us at Roundtable China on Apple Podcast and don't forget that we love to hear from you too,

  • so send your voice notes our way.

  • RoundtablePodcast at qq.com.

  • Once again, RoundtablePodcast at qq.com.

  • And now.

  • The vibrant red of Spring Festival has faded away.

  • But for many of us, it's been replaced by a lingering sense of the blues.

  • It's that heavy post-celebration fog that rolls in once those red envelopes are tucked away,

  • and that festive feast is all but done.
