Sinopsis

Despite ChinaâÇÖs rise to the status of global power, many Chinese youths are anxious about their personal future, in large measure because the rapid changes have left them feeling adrift.ááThis book, available in open access, provides a manifesto of intellectual activism that counsels ChinaâÇÖs young people to think by themselves and for themselves. Consisting of three conversations between Xiang Biao, a social anthropologist, and Wu Qi, a rising journalist, the book probes how China has reached its current stage and how young people can make changes. The conversations touch on issues of mobility, education, family, relations between the self and the authority, centers and margins, China, and the world.áThe Chinese version was namedáthe 'most impactful book of 2021' by Douban, ChinaâÇÖs premier website for rating books, films, and music.á The English version is translated by David Ownby, who also penned an introduction.á
