In the PBS documentary, “The Young and the Restless in China,” the stress placed on China's youth is an uncomfortable side effect of the country's accelerated growth. As a result, a nation's youth are torn between ancient Chinese traditions and new ideas brought by Western cultures. This makes it harder than ever for young Chinese to make their way through the land of booming economics and opportunity. Life in China has changed dramatically due to modernization and the influence of the West. As a result, generations clash, causing much confusion and stress among young Chinese. The seemingly most emblematic dramatic change has been the question of wealth. Young Chinese people who have decided to study and/or live abroad, known as “return turtles” upon returning home, have been exposed to the keys to becoming a successful entrepreneur. Lu Dong, a thirty-two-year-old software company owner, actually backs up this statement, saying, “Get rich quick!” The vast opportunities available to China's new generation are abundant. The returning turtles are bringing back with them business savvy and money-making knowledge and, in turn, disrupting ancient Chinese traditions, established by the grandparents and grandfathers of Chinese youth. China in the 1980s was simply happy with the money it had, instead of striving to make as much money as humanly possible. The equivalent of the monetary value was what was called "rash tickets" To purchase everyday items... means of paper... included in the documentary, the unique situation is overwhelming. In history there has never been a nation like China, with such a rapid economy and lifestyle. Young Chinese aren't sure which path to take. Choose the left path and fulfill the ancient Chinese traditions. Or choose the right path and maybe fight to try to build a better life. But are young Chinese people really trying to find their own way, or are they simply copying what appears to be a more comfortable Western-style way of traveling? Life in China has changed dramatically due to modernization and the influence of Western culture, especially the United States. As a result, generations clash, causing much confusion and stress among young Chinese.
