Post-90s
The Post-90 generation (; yue, 九十後, gau2 sap6 hau6 or yue, 九零後, gau2 ling4 hau6) is a generation in China, especially in urban areas, generally considered to be born between 1990 and 1999 though sometimes considered to start with those born in the fall of 1989 (as they would graduate in the same class as those born in 1990). They are the second generation of Chinese people to have fully grown up in the post-Tiananmen era and the first generation to be born after the protests. They are also China's last 20th-century-born cohort. They are alleged to have traits that are similar to the Post-80s generation, such as the Little Emperor Syndrome and a knack for information technology and capitalism, but in a much more highly developed way. On the other hand, the post-1990 generation is also characterized as being more realistic about their place in society than the post-1980 generation. The Post-90 generation is also alleged to have less of a sense of hierarchy in the wor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Generation Z
Generation Z (or more commonly Gen Z for short), colloquially known as zoomers, is the Western demographic cohort succeeding Millennials and preceding Generation Alpha. Researchers and popular media use the mid-to-late 1990s as starting birth years and the early 2010s as ending birth years. Most members of Generation Z are children of Generation X. As the first social generation to have grown up with access to the Internet and portable digital technology from a young age, members of Generation Z, even if not necessarily digitally literate, have been dubbed " digital natives". Moreover, the negative effects of screen time are most pronounced in adolescents compared to younger children. Compared to previous generations, members of Generation Z tend to live more slowly than their predecessors when they were their age; have lower rates of teenage pregnancies; and consume alcohol less often (but not necessarily other psychoactive drugs). Generation Z teenagers are more conc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Society Of China
Chinese culture () is one of the world's oldest cultures, originating thousands of years ago. The culture prevails across a large geographical region in East Asia and is extremely diverse and varying, with customs and traditions varying greatly between provinces, cities, and even towns as well. The terms 'China' and the geographical landmass of 'China' have shifted across the centuries, with the last name being the Great Qing before the name 'China' became commonplace in modernity. Chinese civilization is historically considered a dominant culture of East Asia. With China being one of the earliest ancient civilizations, Chinese culture exerts profound influence on the philosophy, virtue, etiquette, and traditions of Asia.

Strawberry Generation
Strawberry generation (; or ) is a Chinese-language neologism used in Taiwan for Taiwanese people born from 1990s onwards who "bruise easily" like strawberries – meaning they cannot withstand social pressure or work hard like their parents' generation; the term refers to people who are insubordinate, spoiled, selfish, arrogant, and sluggish in work. The term arises from the perception that members of this generation have grown up being overprotected by their parents and in an environment of stability, in a similar manner to how strawberries are grown in protected greenhouses and command a higher price compared to other fruits. The term gained prominence in the Taiwanese press, as it could be a way to designate a rising demographic or psychographic in terms of consumer behavior. Ironic usage In an ironic reference to the term, a 2008 student-led political movement in Taiwan started the Wild Strawberries Movement. This movement was in response to the visit of China's As ...

One Child Policy
The term one-child policy () refers to a population planning initiative in China implemented between 1980 and 2015 to curb the country's population growth by restricting many families to a single child. That initiative was part of a much broader effort to control population growth that began in 1970 and ended in 2021, a half century program that included minimum ages at marriage and childbearing, two-child limits for many couples, minimum time intervals between births, heavy surveillance, and stiff fines for non-compliance. The program had wide-ranging social, cultural, economic, and demographic effects, although the contribution of one-child restrictions to the broader program has been the subject of controversy. China's family planning policies began to be shaped by fears of overpopulation in the 1970s, and officials raised the age of marriage and called for fewer and more broadly spaced births. Overpopulation, in the eyes of the state officials, would hinder their agenda ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Moonlight Clan
The Moonlight Clan () is a large group of people (particularly young people) who expend their entire salary before the end of each month. The term is derived from a lunar cycle. While ''yue guang'' translates directly to "moonlight", it is also a pun derived from the combination of its individual words, ''yue'' (月; month or moon) and ''guang'' (光; 'empty, used up, or light'). ''Zu'' ('clan, race') refers to a group of people who shares this characteristic. In the United States, a comparable notion is referred to as "living paycheck to paycheck". "Moonlight clan" is a relatively new Chinese neologism to describe young workers who spend their salaries faster than they earn it. Opposite of the Western definition of the word "moonlighting," which means to take on more than one job to earn more money. The Moonlite (people of Moonlight clan) are generally younger generations. They are different from their parents' diligent and thrifty consumption concepts. To chase new trends and have ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
