In China,children born in the 1980s, most of whom are only children (
like me!!),are the luckiest generation ever. However, the truth is that many of them are facing huge troubles growing up, such as finding a job. In the 2007, 4950 thousand university's students graduated from school, 40% of them could not get a job. 30% of them had to find a job though their parents’ connections. This generation faces a highly competitive world, so they become dependent on their parents. Only-children are more conscientious, more socially dominant, less agreeable, and less open to new ideas compared Many companies agree that the ability to bear hardships and undertake hard work is more important than other requirements. They believe that this ability is something that the only-child generation lacks. "Strawberry Generation" is the term to describe this trend. They have the knowledge, skills and the creative power, but the mental character is worse – the ability to handle pressure is weak. They need independent people who can work, but also stand up to trials. However, through personal experience, there are only-children who are successful at their jobs, for instance, in IT jobs.
This is my generation. Actually, most my friends are consider that future will be hard for us. Also, lots of them have a plan on migrate to other country in the future. But i will go back to China! As more I understand other, more I understand China. Home is where I belong to.
