Beijing ultra-slacker Xu Qing, 29, has refused to work since finishing college because he found employment "too boring." Now his parents have taken him to court to force him to get out.

According to the Daily Express, Qing spends his days sleeping and surfing the Internet at his parents' house, where his girlfriend, also jobless, has moved in.

His father had arranged for Qing to work at a friend's company, but Qing left after three months saying it was too dull.

His parents eventually gave him an ultimatum: get a job or move out. Qing refused and the parents said they had no other choice than to take him to court.

The Intermediate People's Court in Beijing ruled in favor of Qing's parents, saying they no longer had an obligation to support a lethargic man approaching his 30s, and that they could force him to move out.

There was a stalemate for the next two months as Qing and his girlfriend refused to budge, the newspaper said.

The parents have now applied for an eviction notice, so bailiffs can remove their son and his girlfriend from their property.


'제발 취직 좀 해’ 부모가 아들 고소

회사생활이 지루하다며 취직을 거부하고 여자친구와 함께 부모 집에 눌러 앉아 허송세월을 보내던 29세 중국 남성 쑤큉에게 철퇴가 내려졌다. 부모가 참다 못해 “제발 취직 좀 해서 나가 살라”며 아들을 고발한 것.

영국 매체 데일리 익스프레스에 따르면 베이징 법원은 부모의 편을 들어 “아들이지만 29세 성인 남성을 더 이상 집에서 데리고 살아야 할 의무가 부모에게 없다”고 판정하며 쑤큉과 그의 “백조” 여자친구에게 방을 비울 것을 명하였다. 하지만 쑤큉과 여자친구가 거부해서 추가적인 법정 공방이 이어지는 중이다.

쑤큉의 아버지는 친구가 운영하는 회사에 그의 일자리를 봐줬다. 하지만 쑤큉은 3개월도 못 채우고 “너무 지루하다”며 회사를 떠나 부모님의 집에서 여자친구와 함께 잠을 자고 인터넷서핑을 하며 시간을 보냈다.
