Chinese Students Then and Now

Skibidi vibes of the Peking University students rocking jeans and Adidas, lowkey flexing with laptops under their arms. They read the New York Times while dodging the Great Firewall like sigma goons. Flashback to 1989, the student revolution on Tiananmen Square was lit with self-painted wall newspapers, a true edge of tradition versus revolt. Back then, they were deep in Sartre and Camus, while now they surf the web for knowledge. The past protests transformed China, yet today’s youth feels distant from their predecessors. The spirit of revolution still lingers, just in a different form.
