The youth are the generation that will change China. There are over 320 million in their teens and twenties, more than the population of the USA. Born after Mao, natives of a nation on the rise, they are destined to have an unprecedented influence on global affairs.
These millennials, offspring of the only child policy, face fierce competition and pressure to succeed. Dislocated from their country’s tumultuous past, they are caught between tradition and modernity. Their struggles are also the same as those of young people all over the world: moving out of home, starting a career, falling in love.
Wish Lanterns tells the stories of six young Chinese. Dahai is a military child and a rebel; ‘Fred’ is a daughter of the Party. Lucifer is an aspiring superstar; Snail a country migrant addicted to online gaming. Xiaoxiao is a hipster from the freezing north; and Mia a skinhead fashionista from Xinjiang in the far west.

读后感
This book combines the stories of six Chinese, born across China in between 1985 to 1990, and follows them in their lives until 2015. At times, Ash's writing is incredibly sharp, but his style alternates as if the blend of six into one isn't a seamless one....

评分light 4/5 Although WL does not serve an exhaustive take on lives of post-80s/90s Chinese, if that is ever possible, by focusing mainly on six characters some of whom I find really unrelatable, it is an admirable achievement nonetheless. Both a curious introduction to Chinese culture(s) for foreigners and an elegy to lost youth for the rest of us.
