The author, in his twenties, who is fluent in Chinese, examines the future of China through the lens of the Jiu Ling Hou―the generation born after 1990.
A close up look at the Chinese generation born after 1990 exploring through personal encounters how young Chinese feel about everything from money and sex, to their government, the West, and China’s shifting role in the world--not to mention their love affair with food, karaoke, and travel. Set primarily in the Eastern 2nd tier city of Suzhou and the budding Western metropolis of Chengdu, the book charts the touchstone issues this young generation faces. From single-child pressure, to test taking madness and the frenzy to buy an apartment as a prerequisite to marriage, from one-night-stands to an evolving understanding of family, Young China offers a fascinating portrait of the generation who will define what it means to be Chinese in the modern era.
Zak Dychtwald was twenty when he first landed in China. He spent years deeply immersed in the culture, learning the language and hanging out with his peers, in apartment shares and hostels, on long train rides and over endless restaurant meals.

Dychtwald的寫作很好,他的句子對他們來說有一個整齊流暢的節奏,盡管他從一個話題跳到另一個話題 - 即使在本書的十二個鬆散捆綁的章節中也是如此。 “中國年輕人”感覺像是一個鬆散編織的軼事網,其內容豐富且可能代錶韆禧一代(在一綫城市)。 然而,這本書確實缺乏一個全麵的故事情節,並沒有迴答自己對“不安的一代將如何改變他們的國傢和世界”的承諾。 盡管有趣而富有洞察力,但其最大的缺陷在於,它並沒有超齣最近在中國撰寫關於他們的朋友的書的西方人的刻闆印象(例如永恒的幸福街和願望燈籠)。 那些對漢學不熟悉的人(中國的研究者)會喜歡學習許多新事物 - 但對於那些與此類似的人來說,年輕中國會感到重復。
評分雖然Greg好像蠻喜歡這本書的
評分全書充滿瞭偏見,標題像是UC震驚部起的,最後無論什麼現象都歸結到中國的快速發展。看的過程中無數次想打人。
