Analysis Of Evan Osnos Age Of Ambition

The book called Age of Ambition written by Evan Osnos, a writer of The New Yorker, exposes Chinese citizens are living in a battleground between authoritarianism and aspiration. He also describes the greatest conflict taking place in China–“The clash between the rise of the individual and the Communist Party’s struggle to retain control.” (Osnos) Evan Osnos states his idea in the book, “An account of the collision of two forces: aspiration and authoritarianism, shows a China river by moral crisis and explosive frustration, whose citizens are desperate to achieve wealth, even as they are terrified of being left with nothing. It is also a riveting and troubling portrait of a people in a state of extreme anxiety about their identity, values and
future.” (Osnos) The author’s description support my idea of “In China, the ethos of the last 30 years is that to get rich is glorious, that instinct is gender neutral.” And it also explains the reason why most of the Chinese women have a sense of being inhibited about wanting to get rich or try to find a partner who is rich enough to support themselves.
