In China today there is a popular term used to describe the generation coming of age in their late twenties and thirties. The term is used to describe China's new generation which has been born and educated since 1980 when the Opening Up to the outside world began under Deng Xiaoping.
This generation is considered a "gifted" and "lucky" generation. They have been born into relative prosperity. They have chances which their parents never had. They have a bright future in front of them. They are the hope of the rising middle class in China.
I was not born in 1980 but came to China in 1980. Thus I am also part of this generation. I have witnessed and participated in the changes. I have seen the shift from poverty to relative wealth.
This blog is dedicated to capturing this perspective....the perspective of nearly 30 years of change and development in China.
