Abstract
Against the backdrop of increasingly fierce social competition, the “lying flat” mindset has quietly taken hold among undergraduates at local universities, reflecting their lack of resilience in the face of adversity. Based on the actual manifestations of the “lying flat” phenomenon among undergraduates at local universities, this paper systematically analyzes the mechanisms underlying resilience. It proposes strategies and supporting measures for fostering resilience across five key areas: government management, family environment, school education, online media regulation, and personal capacity building. The aim is to provide practical guidance and reference for addressing the “lying flat” challenge among undergraduates at local universities and enhancing the quality of talent cultivation in these institutions.
