The Future Belongs to the Restless

One comment by Jeffrey Wasserstrom on Frontline's Young and Restless in China (watch the program online) surprised me.

What is different is that many young Chinese, unlike their parents and grandparents, have been able to live most or all their lives with relatively little to do with the government, or at least the government's presence has been far subtler than it was in the past.

Yet, almost all of this middle-class Chinese Gen X's and Y's were not that different from South Koreans. Or, for that matter, Americans.

Another refreshing aspect of the program is the soundtrack.

C'mon with me brothers, make money and get your bonus

Haha! The choice is yours

Quit playin' around brother, broken bonds with our parents
I do what I do for my brothers that stand by me

What do I have to say for you to understand?
Time is of the essence, hip hop is a piece of meat
Time is running out like sand running through a sieve

The market is there for you to open up
The champagne is waiting for you to open up
The car door is ready for you to open up
