Features: People born in the 1970s—Are your ideals still there? A collective farewell ceremony for a generation of idealistic Chinese! A "classic" that moved an entire generation to tears! Some say, those born in the 1960s learned to read from big-character posters, while those born in the 1980s grew up understanding Western civilization through McDonald's culture. Those born in the 1970s, however, caught the best of times—comprehensive education, open-minded thinking, and an era before media culture flourished. They were nurtured by translated academic classics from the Commercial Press and Western modern academic works from the Sanlian Bookstore. Compared to the 1960s generation, they appeared more vibrant, yet unlike the 1980s generation, they weren’t as "new age." They were a complete group—both intellectuals and sharp media professionals, who also gave rise to the myth of beautiful female writers. This work, jointly launched by the Chinese Social Sciences Press and the Sina.com Book Channel, as a hot topic on the Sina.com Culture Channel, Love at Sunset Bridge—Private History of the 70s Generation, tells the growth and emotional experiences of people born in the 1970s. From different perspectives, this work portrays the life state of this generation.
