| Abstract: | From his wide-angled viewpoint behind the glass-encased balcony bar, Deng Ping can see teh dance floor of Night-man, the wildly popular Beijing club he manages. Looking down from four floors up, he surveys a mass of students drenched in sweat, their bodies gyrating under strobe lights to a heavy hip-hop beat. "It's a different kind of culture" , he says, "but it's a culture that Chinese youth want." And Deng is hardly alone. While Chinese society has long venerated scholarship, many scholars themselves are having second thoughts. |
