The 'Bu Guo Ren Jian' (不过人间) meme originates from the popular emotional song by Hai Lai A Mu, which reflects on the struggles and transience of human existence. Translating to 'Just Passing Through the Human World,' the phrase became a viral sensation on Douyin (Chinese TikTok) as users paired the melancholic lyrics with footage of daily life, burnout, or scenic landscapes. It represents a philosophical resignation to the hardships of life while acknowledging the beauty in the struggle. In the meme community, it is widely used as a 'POV' template to express relatable adulting problems, quiet resilience, or the feeling of being an observer in one's own life.
