Kurzbeschreibung:

China is the worlds fastest-growing economic powerhouse. Everybody knows this. But behind the headlines a once-in-a-generation sexual and cultural revolution is taking place - all in the bars, cafes and streets of Chinas growing mega-cities. Welcome to this new China. Writer and journalist Jemimah Steinfeld meets the young people behind the worlds fastest-moving nation to unveil their attitudes towards love, life and sexuality. Young Chinese have new words to describe the world they live in: little emperors - single men who have grown up under the one child policy - theyre bossy and selfish; bare branches - those without children; leftovers - women over twenty-six who arent married; comrade - how the gay community identifies itself; love markets - weekend gatherings across China where parents attempt to find husbands and wives for their children, and others show up to match-make young singles and even offer boyfriends for hire.
