China is the world's fastest-growing economic powerhouse. Everybody
knows this. But behind the headlines a once-in-a-generation sexual
and cultural revolution is taking place - all in the bars, cafes
and streets of China's growing mega-cities. Welcome to this new
China. Writer and journalist Jemimah Steinfeld meets the young
people behind the world'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: 'little emperors' -
single men who have grown up under the one child policy - they're
bossy and selfish; 'bare branches' - those without children;
'leftovers' - women over twenty-six who aren't married; 'comrade' -
how the gay community identifies itself; 'love markets' - weekend
gatherings across China where parents attempt to find husbands and
wives for their children, and others show up to match-make young
singles and even offer boyfriends for hire.Jemimah Steinfeld
introduces the people at the heart of this world, from the woman
starting China's first online dating agency to the mistresses of
the rich and powerful; from the company trying to sell sex toys to
China's middle-classes to the sino-punks of Beijing's bar scene.
Little Emperors and Material Girls is the book which will change
the way you see China.
