In the PBS documentary "The Young and the Restless in China," the stress placed on young Chinese people is an uncomfortable side effect of the country's accelerated growth. It is therefore the youth of a nation torn between ancient Chinese traditions and the new ideas brought by Western cultures. This makes it harder than ever for young Chinese to make their way in this country with a booming economy and opportunities. Life in China has changed dramatically due to modernization and Western influence. As a result, generations collide, causing much confusion and stress among young Chinese people. The seemingly most emblematic radical change has been the question of wealth. Young Chinese who have gone to study and/or live abroad, known as “return turtles” upon their return home, have been exposed to the keys to becoming a successful entrepreneur.

Life in China has changed dramatically due to modernization and the influence of Western culture, especially the United States. As a result, generations clash, causing much confusion and stress for young Chinese..
