This Generation gathers his essays and blogs dating from 2006 to 2012, telling the story of modern China through Han Hanâs unique perspective. Writing on topics as diverse as racing, relationships, the Beijing Olympics, and how to be a patriot, he offers a brief, funny, and illuminating trip through a complex nation that most Westerners view as marching in lockstep.
