The generation that's remaking China

   Recently, I’ve been watching some TV series. Then, I realize their themes are overlapped. Both of them are talking about young husband and wife’s life. And I also found that there are more and more TV series like this in the last few years. These young couple who are struggling for themselves in big city in China. They mention me a presentation that I watched before. “The generation that's remaking China”, which is from Yang Lan, a journalist and entrepreneur offers insight into the next generation of young Chinese citizens -- urban, connected (via microblogs) and alert to injustice.
The content of her presentation coincide with these TV series’ elements.
   In Yang Lan’s presentation, “What are today’s young generation up to? How are they different? And what are the differences they are going to make?” Those things are her concern. I’m very interested in this topic. Why? Because I am exactly the generation that she said. Basically, I can give some key words to describe my generation in my view. They are: lonely, selfishness, struggle and positive. If you look at her presentation, you will find it shows two different kinds of young people through social media. Put simply, some are catching luxury and vanity. Some are prefer strive under social pressure environment and to be content.
The young Chinese generation, who are same like me, how do you think these three questions in Yang Lan’s presentation?
