Life is Not Elsewhere: Anxiety and Carnival Among Young Chinese

Editor-in-chief Li Zixin

158K0

What do young people think of living in the center of the imperial capital (Beijing) or the magical capital (Shanghai) even if money is tight? Why did you spend all your savings and take out a loan to buy a house in a school district that you can't live in? What thoughts do they have about the education of the next generation? How do Sandwiches in a marriage face difficulties in preparing for pregnancy or the crisis of infidelity? What should you do if you encounter a rare and strange disease at a young age? ... In the interlayer between real dilemmas and dreams, there are still many stories of people who are constantly seeking innovation, breaking out of cocoons, and breaking through. For example, they stay away from home and work as Doctors Without Borders in dangerous areas. They think about the relationship between work and themselves between nine and five, explore the possibility of freelancing, and leave a city and a life they don't like... Life is not elsewhere, and they cannot find themselves elsewhere, so they are anxious, but they are reveling in life. They are not willing to indulge in trivial matters and constantly look inward, thinking and discovering more possibilities about life and themselves.
