Letters written by middle-class, partially Westernized young adults in China and published in a popular periodical there reveal such problems of social change as revolt against the parental generation and the lack of accepted patterns and cues. The change is reflected in the belief in self-improvement through education to replace the support of familia groups. Personal problems are projected outward, and the theme of participation in social progress constantly recurs. That love and marriage through love are regarded as rights to be earned is interpreted as a manifestation of the guilt and anxiety attendant upon revolt
