With all of the recent focus on China - from their dealings with Tibet to being this year's host for the Olympics - little has been said about how the citizens have been dealing with all of the country's changes. As China becomes a global economic powerhouse, the lives of the people have changed, for both better and worse.



Thanks to PBS tonight at 9pm, a FRONTLINE special Young and Restless in China offers the opportunity for viewers to peek into the lives of nine citizens of China. "FRONTLINE explores the generation coming of age in China today. Shot over four years, the film follows a group of nine young Chinese from across the country as they scramble to keep pace with a society changing as fast as any in history. Their stories of ambition and desire, exuberance, crime and corruption are interwoven with moments of heartache and despair. Together they paint an intimate portrait of the generation that is remaking China."



After watching this program, maybe your feelings about all the recent events in China will change...
