In China,people born in and after the 1980s are called the post-80s generation(一代人).Most of them come from single-child families.However,this generation is playing a more and more important part in China,and their image(形象) in people’s minds is changing.Han Han,a popular youth writer,is one of them.
Han Han was born in 1982 in Shanghai.His talent for writing was clear at an early age.When he was 17,he attracted the public’s attention with the article Viewing the People throughthe Glass.The article won first prize in the national New Concept Composition Competition.Later,Han Han again surprised the public by leaving high school.“I didn’t do well in Grade One of high school and failed to move up to the next grade.I tried my best to improve my studies,but failed,so I gave up.However,I am always learning,since learning and going to school are two different things,” Han Han said.
Han Han’s first novel Three Folded Gates sold very well in China.Later the book was translated(翻译)into several languages and sold abroad.

Like schools in China, American schools begin in September after a long summer vacation. The first term is from September to January and the second is from February to June. Usually American children begin to go to school when they are five years old. Most students are seventeen or eighteen years old when they finish high school.
But unlike middle school students in China, high school students in America take only four or five subjects each term. They usually go to the same classes every day and have homework for every class. After class they do all kinds of interesting things.
After high school, many students go to college. They may go to a small or a large one. They usually have to pay a lot for their higher education. So lots of students work after school to make money for their studies.
