思想前瞻还是自私自利？中国的十几岁的年轻人是精通网
络的未来领导人，不过有些人认为他们缺乏实际生活经验。
文章重点
* 精通科技的中国年轻人正在成为被研究得越来越多的一个群体；
* 被称为是“90后”的这一代人对中国起伏跌宕的过去没有记忆；
* 他们是热心的社交媒体和互联网用户；
* 一些社会评论者批评“90后”这一代懒惰、缺乏道德感；
北京，中国（CNN ）——在中国，被称为“90后”的一代被贴上了懒惰、困惑、自私、脑残、总体无望等多个标签。出生在1990年的这一代人今天大多是十几岁的少男少女。
而不管90后到底是什么，至少有一点可以确定，他们与他们的前辈不同：他们 对中国过去的动荡历史没有记忆，相反，他们所经历的中国处于由不可遏制的消费主义和全球化支撑的经济快速发展的时期。
北京的一位网络分析人士Frank Yu说，“他们所了解的生活只是中国在崛起、正变得富裕。”
他们被认为是百变的一代、非常有进取心、眼光向外、并且非常自信，因为他们没从未感受过困苦。”
此外，他们还是伴随网络成长的第一代，并且正是在网络上，他们过着与今日中国社会存留的牢固的传统文化截然不同的生活。
“在虚拟世界里，他们学习怎么成为领导，怎么解决人际间矛盾。”
——韩银波，作家
Kevin Lee，北京的一家研究公司“青年志”的首席运营官说，“当他们离开网络看到现实世界后，他们没有看到什么变化，这让他们在头脑中形成了巨大的落差。”
他们的思想还停留在网络思维方式上，当他们看到现实世界没有前进，甚至只是微小的移动，他们产生了无力感。这种情况下，他们能到哪儿逃避呢？他们回到了网络中。”
“网络是少有的，如果不是仅有的一个地方，能让非90后的人看到他们时不时的激进行为，试图与他们沟通，并试图
弄明白他们究竟是怎样的人，和他们到底是怎样想的。
“在网络上，他们有机会成为独立的个体，”同样来自于“青年志”的Zakfa Zhang说.
这对渴望独立的年轻人来说是全新空间。在这里他们可以抨击任何人，没有人会批评他做错了，在网络上他们不必理会太多限制，表达自己的观点”。
中国的少男少女们在网上表现自己的方式各异，他们会挂在各种社交网站上，例如开心网、人人网等，会在微博上留言，以及使用很流行的即时通讯工具腾讯QQ 或Qzone 、在线论坛。
在这类平台上，他们还会组成“部落”或“圈子”，有的“部落”甚至会吸纳数千名成员，相互之间用“火星文”进行交流。“最精确地定义了90后的亚文化的‘火星文’是一种‘脑残体’写作，这其实是用最为费解的文字来书写标准汉语，”上海的互联网分析家和博客Fifty 5作者Adam Schokora 这么说。
90后的虚拟世界中其他的标志还包括他们所分享的照片和视频。
“他们被认为是百变的一代。他们都很自信因为他们没有感受过困苦。”
——互联网分析家Frank Yu
年轻的女孩还会经常贴一些类似卡通形象的照片，撅着嘴，PS 后的大大的眼睛（如同动画片中的人物），戴着粗框眼镜，性感，穿着日韩式样的布娃娃风格、动漫风格或颓废风格的衣服。
“他们想要展示‘我是美丽的。我很独特。我是个明星’，”张说。
在博客ChinaHush 上一篇题为“90后的一系列脑残行为”的帖子里展示出十几岁孩子网上张贴的一些最令人震惊的与性有关的内容：“对90后的总体印象是这些孩子们‘失控了’，‘行为很糟糕’„„‘脑子有问题’，‘过早地有了性行为’。”这篇帖子里说。
也不是所有人都对他们的行为那么反感。

就说，“在虚拟世界中，他们学习怎么成为领导者，怎么解决人际间矛盾。这些网络活动使他们更加成熟，提供了更多选择，也扩大了他们的视野。前辈们不能享受如此多彩的世界。他们对外界的理解是有限的、单一的。”
18岁的林立（音）是上海复旦大学的一名学生，他说，“社会常常把我们看作是一群想要特立独行、个性很强的，创造力爆发得不是地方的一群人。”
“我们对社会多多少少是有一点敌意的。我们不想那么传统，因为我们觉得所有这些事情都已经很过时了，特别是在中国，我们需要有一些大改变。或许我们想承担这个责任，尽管目前对未来可能还并没有一个真正明确的目标。”
许多人现在想问的一个问题是，当这些90后长大成人并进入职场后，他们会对中国产生什么样的影响。
而其实他们中有些人已经加入劳动力大军了，特别是在工厂中，最近，其中一些人已经经历了由年轻的农民工发起的罢工潮，起因是他们不想接受低工资和过去那种太差的工作环境。
按照Yu 的说法，罢工至少要部分地归功于“果冻一代”（另一个用来形容90后的词）和他们的自由放任、独立和对生活的创业精神。
Yu 说，“他们对于工作的地方更为挑剔。”
《数字化成长：网络世代改变世界》的作者Don Tapscott认为，90后的一代比前辈们更加有创业精神。 “是的，他们会影响将来的变化，并且他们与父辈们相比，有着完全不同的文化”。他说道，“网络上发生的事情会变成现实，因为它的确会促使在现实中的行为发生变化”。 皇帝的新衣

Beijing, China (CNN) -- Lazy, promiscuous, confused, selfish, brain damaged and overall hopeless are all labels that have been given to China's so-called
post-90s generation, or those who were born after 1990 who are now mostly in their teens today.
Whatever the post-90s are, one thing for certain is they are different from those born before them: they have no memory of China's tumultuous past, instead only experiencing it as a country with rapid economic growth underscored by rampant consumerism and globalization.
"They have only known a life in China that is rising and affluent," Frank Yu, a Beijing-based internet analyst, said.
"They are considered a wild card generation. They are very aggressive and outward looking and are pretty
confident because they never felt hardship."
And they are also the first generation that has grown up with the internet. And it is there, online, where they live lives that are a marked departure from age-old cultural norms that remain ingrained in Chinese society today.
In the virtual world they learn how to be leaders, to solve interpersonal conflicts.
--Han Yinbo, author
"When they turn away from the internet and look at the real world and they see that nothing has changed, there is this huge disconnect in their minds," said Kevin Lee, chief operating officer for China Youthology, a Beijing-based research firm.
"Their minds are in this internet way of thinking, and when their real world is not even moving, not even budging, they feel powerless. And so where do they escape? They go back to the internet."
The Web is one of the few, if only places, where those who are not post-90s can see their sometimes radical behavior, try to communicate with them and attempt to figure out who, exactly, they are and what, exactly, they are thinking.
"On the internet, they have the chance to be
individuals," said Zakfa Zhang, also with China Youthology.
"It is a totally new space for the youth to feel
independent. They can criticize anyone, and no one will tell them they are wrong, and they can express
themselves online without many restrictions."
The ways in which China's teens express themselves online vary. They hang out on Chinese social networks, like Kaixin001 and Renren, post comments on microblogs as well as use Tencent's highly popular instant
messaging service QQ and Qzone, its social networking site and other online bulletin boards.
On these platforms, they form what some have described as "tribes" or "clans" that can consist of thousands of members communicating via "Martian" language.
"The 'Martian' dialect most closely identified with the post-90s alternative subculture is 'brain-damaged writing', which is essentially standard Mandarin
written using the most obscure characters possible," writes Adam Schokora, a Shanghai-based internet analyst on the blog Fifty 5.
The post-90s virtual world is also characterized by the photos and videos they share online.
They are considered a wild card generation. They are pretty confident because they never felt hardship. --Frank Yu, internet analyst
Young women often post cartoon-like pictures of
themselves with pursed lips, Photoshop-enlarged eyes (to appear more like an animated characters) while
wearing chunky glasses, sexy, doll-like clothing or goth and punk styles borrowed from Japan and Korea.
"They want to show off: 'I am beautiful. I am special. I am a star,'" Zhang said.
A post on the blog China Hush titled "A Series of
Post-90s Generation's Bad Behaviors" shows some of the more shocking sexual content the teen post online: "The general impression is Post-90s kids are 'out of
control,' behaving badly'...'have mental problems' and are 'engaging in sexual activities way too early,'" the post says.
Not everyone views their behavior so negatively.
"In the virtual world, they learn how to be leaders, to solve interpersonal conflicts," said Han Yinbo, co-author of "An Exploding Internet Revolution."
"These online activities make them more mature, give them more options and enlarge their visions. Former
generations didn't enjoy such colorful worlds. Their understanding of the outside is limited and
monotonous."
"Society views us as wanting to be different, wanting to be full of personality and full of individuality and wanting to be creative in not a good way," said Lin Li, an 18-year-old student at Fudan University in Shanghai.
"We see the society as our enemy a little bit. We do not want to be so conventional because we think all of these things are old and especially in China we need some big changes. Maybe we want to take this
responsibility even though we might not have a really clear goal or aim for the future," she said.
The impact the post-90s will have in China in the future as they mature into adults and become employees is the question many are now asking.
Some have already begun to trickle into the workforce, specifically in factories, a number of which have
experienced strikes in recent months by young, rural workers unwilling to accept the low wages and poor working conditions of the past.
According to Yu, the strikes can at least partially be attributed to the "jelly generation" (another term used to describe the post-90s) and their laissez faire, independent and entrepreneurial attitude towards life.
"They are more picky about where they work," Yu said.
Don Tapscott, author of "Grown Up Digital: How the Net Generation is Changing Your World" believes the
post-90s generation are much more entrepreneurial than their elders.
"Yes, they will effect change, and yes, they have a completely different culture than their parents," said Tapscott.
"What happens online does materialize. It does drive behavior change in the real world."
