While the "70s generation"still occupied a spot on the stage, the "80s generation" impatiently appeared. These writers were all born in the 1980s, and most of them are the products of Internet writing and the "New Concept" writing competition, which was organized by a youth magazine and seven universities.

Because these juvenile writers lack experience, what they emphasize is a more sensitive feeling from the heart. Han Han, Guo Jingming, and Zhang Yueran are the three representatives of this group, although they did not become famous from this concept.
Although the "80s generation" in itself is not original, it has a high business value.

For one thing, the predecessor of the "80s generation" is the "young writer,", which is another highly valued title. When the new "80s generation" concept emerged, all those young writers entered it.

Second, Han Han and Guo Jingming, as two of the representatives of the "80s generation," have high commercial value in that many other young people read their works.

Third, the youth novels written by the "80s generation" were the most popular works in 2004. Generally speaking, "80s generation" literature is a transition from children writing and school writing to adult writing.

Some think the "80s generation" is different from any other generation in that the generation has given up the pursuit of idealism to chase after only fame and money. However, the young writers have rejected this concept, saying no group of young people in China can be categorized with a label.

It is only natural that people born in the 1980s are very different from their parents and grandparents. With the world of information pouring into the new open China, people born in the 1980s are much more confident, independent, active, and outward.
