When post-90s graduates meet Chinese problems

Edited and translated by Shen Qing, People's Daily Online

For people born in the 1990s, their financial pressure from families is not much, since their parent are those who were born in the 1960s and have done quite well, so they would rather stay at home if not having a good job. Specifically speaking, the problem for university graduates now is not to find a job, but to find a good one.

The topic about fighting hard in the film "American Dream in China" has won a box-office success. However, the word "fighting" is gradually fading away for the younger generation.

The film is about achieving the American Dream in China in the 1980s. It means to show the idealistic time in the 1980s to the younger generation.

Comparing these two generations, the fathers' generation were fighting for their own dreams when they were young, but young people born in 1990s are trying hard to find a job.

This is not an idealistic time any more. Walking out of the cinema, people still have to face the Chinese style problems. Here are some employment figures in 2013: only 33 percent of 7 million graduates signed job contracts (until June, Beijing); positions offered are 15 percent less; salary cuts (dropping from 2,200 yuan to 1,800 yuan for administrative positions)......

The number of graduates is 100,000 more than last year. This "hardest time for employment ever" is the result of many reasons.

"People born in 1990s are not just a different generation; they are a group of different kind of people" (New Weekly). Their aspirations are seriously different from their fathers' generation: they were born in an age of the Internet; they embrace internationalization; they want development and fairness. All in all, they are not simply looking for a job.

For people born in the 1990s, their financial pressure from families is not much, since their parent are those who were born in the 1960s and have done quite well, so they would rather stay at home if not having a good job. Specifically speaking, the problem for university graduates now is not to find a job, but to find a good one.
