This new phrase perfectly encapsulates our current situation

Because of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, many of us find ourselves glued to the news and worrying about what is going to happen.

This week, Chinese netizens have coined the perfect term to describe this feeling: 乌心工作 (wú xīn gōng zuò), or “too focused on Ukraine to work”. I think we can all relate to this feeling. It’s hard to focus on the task at hand when such serious things are going on and we often feel helpless about it.
