Little Emperors and Material Girls: Sex and Youth in Modern China
- I B Tauris Company
China is the worldâ€™s fastest-growing economy. But behind the headlines a once-in-a-generation sexual and cultural revolution is taking place in the bars, cafes and streets of Chinaâ€™s mega-cities. Welcome to the new China. Writer and journalist Jemimah Steinfeld meets the young people behind the worldâ€™s fastest-moving nation to unveil their attitudes towards love, life and sexuality. Young Chinese have new words to describe the world they live in: â€œlittle emperorsâ€â€“bossy and selfish single men who have grown up under the one child policy; â€œleftoversâ€â€“women over twenty-six who arenâ€™t married; â€œlove marketsâ€â€“weekend gatherings where parents attempt to find husbands and wives for their children, match-make young singles and offer boyfriends for hire. Steinfeld introduces the people at the heart of this world, from the man starting Chinaâ€™s first online dating agency to the women who work the red-light districts; from the company trying to sell sex toys to Chinaâ€™s middle-classes to the sino-punks of Beijingâ€™s bar scene. Little Emperors and Material Girls is the book that will change the way you see China
