""Many studies have explored the effects of modernization on human experiences in China, but Fengshu Liu’s Modernization as Lived Experiences stands out as a particularly insightful exploration of how modernization caused generational change, due to its use of a research methodology designed specifically to zero in on how and why contemporary teenagers, their parents and grandparents differed in their experiences and aspirations during the same life stages of adolescence and youth."" Vanessa L. Fong, published in The China Quarterly, 1-2 doi:10.1017/S0305741021000369 ""Merely flipping through its introduction chapter will make one realize that beneath its deceitfully unexceptional narrative, the book offers a brilliant account of the rapid and dramatic social transformation of post-Mao China through an unusually deep scrutiny of youthhood across three generations.... Fengshu Liu’s new book is a brilliant account of the modernization process as it has been experienced by the Chinese youth of three generations. I also add that Liu experiments a methodologically effective approach to study individual experiences across the generational and gender lines, which can and perhaps should be replicated in future studies.""
