Both international and Chinese literature have highli…

Youth and the Making of Modern China
The beginning of the twentieth century marked in China the emergence of “youth” ( qingnian ) as a distinct analytical category associated with national modernity. As the term qingnian assumed unprecedented significance, a new generation of educated youth aware of its role as agent of social change also came into being. In fact, the May Fourth movement turned Chinese youth into a social force that could be organized and mobilized for effective act…
