Abstract
I remember the excitement I felt dodging treacherous Shanghai traffic on my way to meet a potential senior research manager. Let’s call her “Maggie.” On paper, Maggie had everything I was looking for—she seemed like someone who would be curious enough to dive deeply for understanding and organized enough to make sure her efforts led to insights. I nodded at most of her answers, until she got to the part about working with others.
Post-50s and post-60s get money, post-70s get girls, and post-80s only get pressures.
—Han Han, novelist and China’s most popular blogger, born in 19821
