More about the book
The post-1980 generation in China, known as Generation Y, is marked by a pronounced materialistic attitude, contrasting sharply with previous generations' collective mindset. This shift is exemplified by the widespread embrace of Western brands like McDonald's, symbolizing a desire for instant gratification and individual enjoyment. Unlike their predecessors, who were focused on communal support under communism, today’s youth aim for personal wealth and success, driven by China's new economic policies and the responsibility to fulfill their parents' aspirations.
