ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the characteristics of the “post-80’s generation” in Northeast region in China. The “post-80” generation means the new cohort of the Chinese who were born between 1980 and 1989. The “post-80’s generation” is generally considered as a spoiled generation without maturity, humility and responsibility. They are also regarded as individualistic risk takers. Since China’s reform and opening up, the “post-80’s generation” have been benefited from the expansion of higher education enrollment, as the product of “the one child” policy. This study attempts to analyze the characteristics of the “post-80’s generation. In comparison with the coastal south region, the northeastern region owes a more distinguishing feature of the planned economy and the strong legacy from socialism. Shenyang and Yingkou were chosen as the study areas, and with qualitative data, this study tries to offer a new understanding of this generation.
