Most people explain “Nei Juan” based on the connotation of the “Involution” and other fierce competition outlined above. However, the misunderstanding of the term triggers adverse social anxiety and stigmatizes reasonable education ideas. The result of “Nei Juan” is that everyone screws more effort to expect the raised standard, but no one yields better returns due to the fixed resources. The essay related to the education-oriented examination in China reveals the adverse effects of “Nei Juan,” focuses on why the public misunderstand the “Nei Juan” as involution and distinguishes it from the positive competition. Understanding the term’s connotation is responsible for helping those escaping from the futile effort and relaxing from the rat race.
