Requests:  0 Summary:  ""One of the best [books] I've read about the individuals who make up a country that is all too often regarded as a monolith."--Jonathan Fenby, Financial Times If China will rule the world one day, who will rule China? There are more than 320 million Chinese between the ages of sixteen and thirty. Children of the one-child policy, born after Mao, with no memory of the Tiananmen Square massacre, they are the first net native generation to come of age in a market-driven, more international China. Their experiences and aspirations were formed in a radically different country from the one that shaped their elders, and their lives will decide the future of their nation and its place in the world. Wish Lanterns offers a deep dive into the life stories of six young Chinese. Dahai is a military child, netizen, and self-styled loser. Xiaoxiao is a hipster from the freezing north. "Fred," born on the tropical southern island of Hainan, is the daughter of a Party official, while Lucifer is a would-be international rock star. Snail is a country boy and Internet gaming addict, and Mia is a fashionista rebel from far west Xinjiang. Following them as they grow up, go to college, find work and love, all the while navigating the pressure of their parents and society, Wish Lanterns paints a vivid portrait of Chinese youth culture and of a millennial generation whose struggles and dreams reflect the larger issues confronting China today"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 305.23509 As Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.23509 As Checked In Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.23509 As Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.23509 As Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.23509 As Checked In Add Copy to MyList
