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, \u003ci\u003eYoung China\u003c\/i\u003e offers a fascinating portrait of the generation who will define what it means to be Chinese in the modern era.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n Zak Dychtwald was twenty when he first landed in China.
