Young Chinese Hit the Edge of the New Era


China as the rising dragon from westerner's eyes, open market economy, upcoming Beijing Oympic, newly developed technology. All of the signs are displaying westerners a flourishing new China.

Yesterday having a Chinese friends gathering at a well decorated Iranian restaurant, a few thoughts want to share with you.

Friends gathering

I got to know these guys(three young Chinese guy, Keiven, Eric, and Addison through one of my high school class fellows.

Whom I also filmed as the main character in my TV documentary -- China Generation Next -- Lucy.

In a few months times' herself will be a young master graduate from Imperial College, London.

During yesterday's gathering, I found out Keiven, Eric, and Addison, these young, posh, but very well-eduated Chinese're so passionate in discussing their new ideas.

Such as doing business in the field of environmentalism.

Heard from Lucy that three of them're more or less having sientific background, soon will be holding their master degrees such as civil engeering, bio-chemistry.

One of them even already started his PhD in the field of electronic and electric engeering.

Three of them're all in their earlier 20s.

Different from arts

After hearing their conversation, and being virtually got in touch with these scientific minds.

Anyone who's related with arts, music, current affairs, psycology, and any kinds of social sicence.

No wonder you'll find that these young chinese're having very different approach of thinking things, they're very logical, precise, realistic, and indeed very much suitable for today China's speedy developing circusmtances.

As someone who has already been in touch with words, melody, and colour, your mind might to be revolutionalised when hearing their conversation to some extend, but it's interesting as well.

Arts people tend to be more multiculturalising, exploring more western culture if I could put in this way, they're the real ones tried to be genuinely accepting western culture.

It might because of people's own eduational background, and the more you're digging your own field, the more you're trying to behave as that type of person you think you should be.
