When we talk about those born after the 1980s in China, we are talking about the first generation born under the one-child policy and raised during the reform and opening up that followed the Cultural Revolution. This generation grew up together with the internet and social media, melting into a consumer society completely at odds with the preceding ones. Luo Yang, born in 1984, is one of them: in 2007, at twenty-three, she began the series Girls, which brought her international recognition, and for ten years she followed more than a hundred women of her generation, recording the changes in their lives.
