China’s Young Elite – The “Me” Generation | To Be Rich Is Glorious

China’s Young Elite – The “Me” Generation

July 31, 2007 | Author: C P | Filed under: Lifestyle, Reading

I recently read a very interesting TIME article called China’s Me Generation about the young elite (dubbed the “Me” Generation by author Simon Elegant) in China and their relation to life, money and politics.

This article struck a chord with me. The lifestyle of the young Chinese elite is one really feasible and respectable and has certainly motivated me to work harder towards my goals. Author Simon Elegant was also spot-on regarding the political standpoints of young Chinese. Contrary to some popular western journalism that blatantly bashes the Chinese government when it comes to politics, this article explores the current situation in a genuine and personal setting. This is definitely an article worth reading.

See excerpt:

Because of China’s one-child policy, instituted in 1978, this is the first generation in the world’s history in which a majority are single children, a group whose solipsistic tendencies have been further encouraged by a growing obsession with consumerism, the Internet and video games. At the same time, today’s young Chinese are better educated and more worldly than their predecessors.
