The leisure time of single youths in contemporary society is constantly shrinking due to the intensification of capital and technological alienation, and their genuine leisure values and experiences are constantly distorted and dissolved; their leisure life is influenced by multiple factors such as efficiency, consumerism and time tyranny, and they encounter the dilemmas of leisure time, the softness of leisure cognition and the annoyance of leisure experience. Leisure, as an important part of human life, has its own endogenous drive to produce positive value and resist alienation. Contemporary single youths should break out of their current leisure dilemmas and realize the comprehensive development of the subjects through reshaping ethical values derived from leisure itself, generating positive leisure emotions and constructing daily leisure life.
