Explore the fascinating intersection of modernity and tradition in contemporary China with this insightful book. Authored by renowned ethnographer Paul Willis, who is celebrated for his groundbreaking work 'Learning to Labour', this engaging analysis delves into how the Chinese educational landscape reflects broader societal transformations. The narrative reveals the cultural dynamics at play, where mass migration—both physical and ideological—has redefined values and everyday experiences across urban and rural landscapes in China.As China undergoes rapid economic growth, propelled by a massive educational expansion, the school system emerges as a critical cultural stage. Here, students grapple with performance pressures, embodying the dualities of aspiration and disillusionment shaped by a rapidly changing society. This book unfolds the dramatic interplay between traditional values and modern aspirations, illustrating how the glorification of urban life, consumer culture, and digital technologies like smartphones and the internet shape youth identity and social norms.
With an ISBN of 9781509538317 and published by John Wiley & Sons in 2019, this book stands as a significant resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in understanding the complex narratives woven through China's educational experiences. Perfect for those seeking to understand how history informs current cultural trends, offering vital insights into the exam-driven culture, collective ideologies, and the future-oriented aspirations of a nation.

Description:
This book analyses modernity and tradition in China today and how they combine in striking ways in the Chinese school. Paul Willis “ the leading ethnographer and author of Learning to Labour “ shows how China has undergone an internal migration not only of masses of workers but also of a mental and ideological kind to new cultural landscapes of meaning, which include worship of the glorified city, devotion to consumerism, and fixation upon the smartphone and the internet
Massive educational expansion has been a precondition for explosive economic growth and technical development, but at the same time the school provides a cultural stage for personal and collective experience. In its closed walls and the inescapability of its Âscores™, an astonishing drama plays out between the new and the old, with a tapestry of intricate human meanings woven of small tragedies and triumphs, secret promises and felt betrayals, helping to produce not only exam results but cultural orientations and occupational destinies
By exploring the cultural dimension of everyday experience as it is lived out in the school, this book sheds new light on the enormous transformations that have swept through China and created the kind of society that it is today: a society that is obsessed with the future and at the same time structured by and in continuous dialogue with its past.

More cinnamon flavor than vanilla
I really wanted to like this lip balm but, as another person commented, the cinnamon flavor dominates. It does moisturize quite well if you can overlook how spicy the cinnamon tastes. Would have preferred just plain vanilla instead. Not sure I'll keep this.

hot cinnamon
Only had this one day and I do like it but would like to note the cinnamon is more like hot tamale cinnamon not cinnamon roll cinnamon. still does the job but my chapped lips give a good burn for maybe 30 sec :( going to check if they have another flavor option for next order

Best lip balm I’ve found yet
Every lip balm or chapstick I have ever used has always bothered my lips and made them peel. I’ve tried cheap chapsticks to organic chapsticks to vegan and nothing has ever worked. I figured I’d give this a try since I didn’t have much to lose and I am SO glad I did. This is the first lip balm that hasn’t made my lips peel. I LOVE THIS. And the cinnamon vanilla smells divine. This is definitely going to be my go to from now on.

LIP GOO GOOD ENOUGH FOR EDS PATIENTS!!! I have old school type3, the super bad…
First of all… I used to have a desserts catering side hustle and my oatmeal scotchie recipe starts smelling EXACTLY like this combo!!! I am 51 and have tried LITERALLY THOUSANDS of chapstick type lip goos, I have a genetic disorder that prevents me from being able to absorb anything… most to all chapsticks DO NOT WORK but my lips are currently soft… it actually feels amazing to have something on my lips that seems to work!!! Instead on sitting on my lips or skin all weird and greasy til I freak out rub everything off!!! It’s working… NOT SOMETHING I WAS ACTUALLY WILLING TO ADMIT TO…
My VEGAN MOTHER talked me into trying this, she’s more absorbent and can use other products, I cannot, however!!! I seriously LOVE THIS GOO!!!

absolute life saver on a winter trip to austria, and has become my go-to every day since! even before my trip i was struggling with chapped lips and this healed them and protected them through winter sports better than anything i’ve ever used, and i’m a lip balm snob. smells amazing, feels amazing. 10/10!
