I think the theory of this interesting saying being originated from Chinese has been debunked! Such a pity haha.
Due to the pandemic, teachers had to accelerate their learning on how to create online lessons on our nation’s online learning system as well as conduct classes through Zoom. If it weren’t for the pandemic, I doubt we would be expected to pick up these new tricks so fast.
I still have to go to school every day. (Obviously.) My wife, on the other hand, can work from home two days per week these days.
There’s a novel by Terry Pratchett called ‘Interesting Times’ which from what I remember perpetuates the myth that the saying came from China.
However I suspected that it was artistic license and possibly not true as you say.
