If these images are the stars of the New China Generation - one that is about to inherit the mantle of most powerful country in the world - what is the world to do? America is calling here. I see a youth that is sheltered and hollowed out by a cheap narcissistic and dangerously empty materialism foisted onto them as the 'gift' of an older generation that struggled nose to the grind stone to get their kids that car, camera and all that other insulation from harsher realities that informed their own childhoods. It's not just from these pictures, but it looks like - culturally speaking - China is ripe for a Cultural Jack Kerouac or something similar to rekindle that soul that gets lost in the generational rush to materialism that is clawing your way back to the top of Maslow's pyramid from post-poverty periods. But what will they tell you when you look back twenty years from now? What were you feeling? What were you thinking? About Tao, Socrates, Zen, time, space, poverty, justice, karma, people you meet? Something more than how you must look in the lens? Anything? What crisis did you overcome? What darkness did you plumb? Who the hell are you? These pictures are all pretend and no substance.Īs a kind of symbol these pictures resonate with the whole vibe I get from China these days. Sure, these pictures may get you laid when you get back to The Straussian City. Is this the best you got China? As your newly rekindled nation embarks on life's highway of self-discovery, is this what your inside will let you see outside of you? You are sending us vintage 'Ego Trip' porn photos and this is cause for concern because it's such egos writ large on the national scale that let ruckus loose on the world.
But we are the old world sages of road trips and we can read your postcard pics like tea leaves and see your souls. You got Kung Fu China and Europe may have fine art. by Unknown 01:47 0 comments 27 pics 27pics around maldives nature night see of stars the tourism travel trip vaadhoo. We in America are masters of the road trip. See how easy it is to go so far and yet see so little! but stay for the metropolis of postures and posing with cigars, booze, a desert, an old man, a car, some gadgets, other random stuff like a crow, another picture of their car, some gadgets, other stuff we didn't really need but packed anyways like a big freak'n knife, more random stuff - but this stuff is old and a bit rusty so a Good Backdrop For Me - The Star - on the side of the road, in a few fields, more gadgets again and a lot of sun glasses and smoking.
They look lost in a place that isn't on any map. Yet, all they can do is obsess over toys and try and fit into some vapid stylistic montage they've been sold.

They are free of parents, school, structure etc. In those moments, they try and step into the pages of the various life style magazines that have shaped their un-examined post-pubescent but still unfinished brains. Where some boys with cash-time climb into a cramped car to seek out, capture and post the few spare moments they spent in the open air. The people on this road trip are completely and dangerously self-absorbed. I don't like what these pictures say about what the global village can expect of China's new kids on the block.
