Book Description
Chinese lanterns, sometimes referred to as sky lanterns, are floating paper lanterns that are most frequently utilized in Asian cultures during festivals and celebrations. They are made of a paper shell that has been stretched over a frame and contains a candle. Lanterns soar into the air like hot air balloons when they are lighted because the flame warms the air inside the lantern. Sky lanterns were historically strategically employed by the Chinese in warfare, although they are now more frequently utilized for festivals. These beautiful lights are now used for weddings, events, and national holidays like the Chinese New Year and the Fourth of July. Sky lanterns have been blamed for several fires that resulted in at least one death in the twenty-first century.

Book Description
“One of the best [books] I’ve read about the individuals who make up a country that is all too often regarded as a monolith.” —Jonathan Fenby, Financial Times If China will rule the world one day, who will rule China? There are more than 320 million Chinese between the ages of sixteen and thirty. Children of the one-child policy, born after Mao, with no memory of the Tiananmen Square massacre, they are the first net native generation to come of age in a market-driven, more international China. Their experiences and aspirations were formed in a radically different country from the one that shaped their elders, and their lives will decide the future of their nation and its place in the world. Wish Lanterns offers a deep dive into the life stories of six young Chinese. Dahai is a military child, netizen, and self-styled loser. Xiaoxiao is a hipster from the freezing north. “Fred,” born on the tropical southern island of Hainan, is the daughter of a Party official, while Lucifer is a would-be international rock star. Snail is a country boy and Internet gaming addict, and Mia is a fashionista rebel from far west Xinjiang. Following them as they grow up, go to college, find work and love, all the while navigating the pressure of their parents and society, Wish Lanterns paints a vivid portrait of Chinese youth culture and of a millennial generation whose struggles and dreams reflect the larger issues confronting China today.
