文山会海

cóng wén shān huì hǎi zhōng bǎi tuō chū lai

从文山会海中摆脱出来

free oneself from office work and meetings

zhěng tiān mái zài wén shān huì hǎi li

整天埋在文山会海里。

All day long be buried under a mountain of paperwork and drowned in a sea of meetings.

wǒ yī zhí rèn wéi wén shān huì hǎi shì rén fú yú shì de gōng sī zuò fēng biǎo xiàn zhī yī

我一直认为文山会海是人浮于事的公司作风表现之一。

I always believe overfull meetings are signs of bueaucratism of an organization.
