Meaning:

    “现” is short for “现实生活,” which means “reality,” and “充” is short for “充实,” which means “substantial.” It refers to those who lead a substantial and satisfactory real life, in contrast to those who love to stay home and find satisfaction in games and virtual life. This saying, borrowed from the Japanese, is used by trendy Chinese netizens. It can be roughly translated as “winners.” Netizens don’t really like them and may feel jealous.
