The end of the Chinese dream: why Chinese people fear the future /Gerard Lemos. Lemos investigates a China beyond the foreigners’ beaten track. This is a revealing account of the thoughts and feelings of Chinese people regarding all facets of their lives, from education to health care, unemployment to old age, politics to wealth. Taken together, the stories of these men and women bring to light a broken society, one whose people are frustrated, angry, sad, and often fearful about the circumstances of their lives. The author considers the implications of these findings and analyzes how China’s community and social problems threaten the ambitious nation’s hopes for a prosperous and cohesive future. Lemos explains why protests will continue and a divided and self-serving leadership will not make people’s dreams come true.
