About the Film
China is a country of young people and the new generation is coming of age, full of hope, energy and ambition.
Since the 1990s, the economy and culture of the country has been transformed. Once a country dominated by
a nearly spiritual belief in Maoism, young adults in China today w ant to grab the new opportunities, get rich and
live "the good life".

Young and Restless in China follow s nine young people from across the country for four years, giving audiences an in-depth, very personal look at a unique and rapidly changing society. In riveting emotional detail,the film captures the highs and low s of coming of age that are at times intimately familiar and also decidedly
new.
