Description

Explore the real lives of ordinary people in modern China through this collection of vivid essays. Using ingenious research methods, the contributors to this book look past official narratives to find the search for meaning in a rapidly changing, globalizing society. This book covers a wide social spectrum, bringing you close to the experiences of everyone from hip young entrepreneurs to sweatshop workers and homeless beggars. You will find a diverse range of topics discussed, including domestic violence, homosexuality, and political corruption. By reading these accounts, you gain a deep understanding of a culture that is a mixture of exhilarating new aspirations and rueful cynicism. See how people express their dreams, such as basketball fans who hope to fly like Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant, while also navigating the complexities of contemporary life. This work is an essential read for anyone interested in the sociology and anthropology of modern Chinese culture.
