The topic of China’s “slash youth” has fueled heated debate on social media recently,drawing attention to the diverse pursuits of the younger generation.
The slash youth,which could also be called “slashers” or “slash-generation”,means those who refuse to be defined or bound by just one personal identity.They are keen to present themselves as multiple and sometimes distinct identities,such as a nurse and model,a teacher and stand-up comedian,and an engineer and band player.Rather than material comforts,they pursue meaningful achievements.
A study on “slash youth” published in the ChinaYouthResearch magazine analyzes the background of this phenomenon:with part of modern society’s structured organization and stability norms are broken,flexible labor markets and structural unemployment has emerged,eliminating the sense of job security of the young people in employment.Young people also face the dilemma of self-actualization,including the sense of powerlessness,lost sense of value and lack of self-identity in the profession,which forces them to re-find the meaning of work.
“The ‘slash life’ shows that our society is becoming more and more diversified and inclusive and it welcomes everyone’s self fulfillment,” said Shi Yanrong,an associate researcher from Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences.The researcher added that against the background that people have multiple interests and are willing to pay for these interests nowadays,the “slash life” of the youth would drive the growth of a new economy,just as animation culture affected the market.
