颜飞 / Yan Fei (sociologist)

颜飞 is the Tsinghua University sociology speaker in EP265 当“请3休13”冲上热搜,我们如何给人生放一个长假?. This page is separate from [[YanFei|严飞 / Yan Fei]] because the Chinese characters and source role differ.

In the episode, Yan Fei explains why holidays can feel difficult even when people want them. He links [[VacationShame|休假羞耻感]] to work pressure, cultural suspicion of pleasure, and the way phone-mediated work follows people into leisure. His account of academic holidays also shows why apparent time off can still be filled with research, writing, applications, and conferences.

Yan Fei gives the episode its life-design vocabulary. His Canada examples, former-student story on Vancouver Island, and closing [[WaldenMomentAgainstOdysseyMoment|Walden/Odyssey]] metaphor all treat vacation as a way to recover direct perception, not only to collect scenery.
