Since the implementation of reform in 1978, the economic and socio-cultural environment of modern China has experienced a dramatic transformation under the influence of urbanization and globalization, facilitating more individualized identity among Chinese youth. This book bridges the gap between an emergent emphasis on individualisation and the country’s traditional norms and values. It focuses on young people’s understandings of various forms of relationships such as cohabitation, extramarital relationships and multiple relationships, suggesting a challenge to traditional familial values and an increasingly diversified understanding of the concepts of love and romance. By examining the formation of relationships among 21st century Chinese youth, notably through the lens of popular Chinese TV dating programs, this book considers how dating and relationships mirror China’s changing societal structure and examines social and cultural transformations in Chinese society. .Social groupsFamilyMotion picturesSocial mediaSociology of Family, Youth and Aginghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22080Film/TV Industryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/413170Social Mediahttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/412020Social groups.Family.Motion pictures.Social media.Sociology of Family, Youth and Aging.Film/TV Industry.Social Media.305.2350951Yang Chaoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut728302BOOK9910252691803321Television and Dating in Contemporary China2523097UNINA
