Fewer conversations are about what Chinese people are doing and the ways that they go about solving the new challenges of this era. Five authors are writing a unique book that provides a window onto the predicaments people are facing in China today, and distinctive ways that they go about resolving them. In the past few years, fascination with China has taken on the sense of alarm, as it has gone from isolated unknown to formidable threat. In the debates about the future of how China conducts itself in world affairs, the attention to the people has been lost. There are almost 1.4 billion people within the borders, and they are not uniform. Other than ethnicity, one of the big contrasts is what the people see as their problems versus what the government is interested in. In fact, people in China have interesting ways of solving their problems that have been out of sight, inconspicuous, and unnoticed. How do people deal with death? What has been the effect of rising inequality? What about rainbow activists and sexuality? What about intergenerational tensions over medical practices? Why is there a growing popular interest in psychology in Chinese cities? What was their experience of the COVID-19 pandemic? What are some points of view on Hong Kong and Uighurs? How do they feel about social problems like drug addiction and homelessness? People in China face similar problems that others around the world do, but some are meeting the challenges of our time in distinctive ways. China has captured the world’s attention, but there is more than has been seen. In this virtual event, five authors take us behind the media focus on the government to provide insight on the people who live there.
