According to Baidu Encyclopedia, "rest and recuperation" is an idiom in China, which means to lighten people's burden, stabilize their lives and develop production after great turmoil or long-term war. Usually used to describe political strategies and national policies, rather than directly describing people. But metaphorically, it can be used to describe people's recovery and cultivation period. For example, after a serious illness or long-term work stress, people may need a period of rest and health preservation to restore their physical and mental state. In this case, it can be said that they are "recuperating".
