The Identity of Zhiqing (eBook, ePUB)

The Lost Generation

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides new research on Zhiqing, the first generation brought up after the establishment of the People's Republic of China and regarded as a lost generation during the Cultural Revolution. Presenting a remembrance of their tortuous life trajectories, the book investigates their distinctive identity and self-identification. It takes a social psychological perspective and is unique in its use of first-hand materials, compiling individuals' memories collected from in-depth interviews. This innovative research offers an informative induction of the topic and also contributes to the development of contemporary Chinese studies by laying the foundation for a specialized Zhiqing study.
