Season 1 Episode 7: The "80's Writers" in China

A new group of writers is capturing the hearts of young readers these days. The so-called "80's writers" are those born in the 1980s. These writers and their readers have a different perspective on their country compared with older generations because they were born after the enforcement of the one-child policy and amid China's rapid economic growth. As the rest of the nation looks down on their literature as mere pop culture, these writers depict the realities and feelings of their generation. This episode of Asia Insight followed several prominent "80's writers" and their readers.
