A new day …

… a new blog. The focus of Six will be what young Chinese in Beijing are thinking, talking and frittering away their time on. If the future belongs to China (according to some), and a country’s youth is its future (according to most), then China owns all young people. This disturbing syllogism aside, China’s ‘rise’ is likely to be defined by my generation: it sure isn’t finished today, which marks the end of the Olympics. That’s a beginning in disguise.

Six reoccurring characters will emerge in a narrative. The focus is a soft one, with plenty else creeping in at the sides. It always seems to, in China.
