  • Off beat Chinese youth Guo Wei, a.k.a. "Libra," 24, a dancer, strikes a pose for a portrait in Beijing. Libra travelled to Egypt to study belly dancing. His flamboyance is a startling sight in strait-laced China, but he doesn't care. "I can't travel on someone else's road," he says.
    GENERATION KU01.JPG
  • Zhang Weiwei, 29, a musician, holds an old photograph of his mother, which was colored by hand as he poses for a portrait in Beijing, China. His parents in impoverished western China don't understand why he chooses to live an artist's life instead of settling down in a stable government job.
    GENERATION KU06.JPG
  • Liu Fei, 27, an installation and video artist, studied at London's prestigious Central St. Martins College of Art and Design poses for a portrait in Beijing. Her father was persecuted during China's 1966-76  Cultural Revolution for making art.
    GENERATION KU08.JPG
  • Zhang Liwei, 26, who quit her office job to work as a dance instructor poses for a picture In the US, she'd hardly be considered unusual - just another mall rat. But her parents in China's Anhui province hit the roof when she abandoned her stable job and dyed and permed her hair. "Why?" they said.
    GENERATION KU12.JPG
  • Guo Jian, 24, a bass player for "Cold Blind Animal," poses for a portrait in Beijing. Jian came to Beijing from eastern China's Shandong province because he wanted independence. He thinks artists will always be a tiny minority in conformist China. His tattoo shows a dragon and a yin-yang sign.
    GENERATION KU07.JPG
  • Xie Tianzi, 30, an artist, poses for a potrait in Beijing. The son of factory workers, he grew up at a time when the "work unit" provided family housing, health care and education under China's socialist system. So, when he grew his hair long and started wearing ripped clothes, his parents worried that everyone in their work unit would know they had a "strange" son.
    GENERATION KU03.JPG
  • Xie Tianzi, 30, an artist, is getting ready for his first U.S. shows next year, in the San Francisco Bay Area, poses for a potrait in Beijing. The son of factory workers, he grew up at a time when the "work unit" provided family housing, health care and education under China's socialist system. So, when he grew his hair long and started wearing ripped clothes, his parents worried that everyone in their work unit would know they had a "strange" son.
    GENERATION KU11.JPG
  • Chinese Party Girl Gu Yuanyuan, 23, gestures during a portrait shot in Beijing, China. Yuanyuan is a party girl who, as she puts it, has "no fixed work" - an anomaly in today's go-go China where everyone is trying to get ahead. She got her first piercing at age 13 - her nose- and when her teacher wouldn't let her wear a nose ring she wore a tea-leaf stick instead.
    GENERATION KU05.JPG
  • Luo Su, 30, a lay-out artist for an English-language entertainment magazine, holds her paents picture as she poses for a portrait in Beijing Dec. 3, 2005. She thinks too many young Chinese only admire foreign - read: Western - culture, and that makes her sad.(AP Photo/Elizabeth Dalziel)
    GENERATION KU10.JPG
  • Lin Jing, 32, an artist, poses for a portrait in Beijing. Jing was kept out of school by her bohemian parents who were wary of the political indoctrination taught in China in the 1970s. Instead, she stayed home, helped her mother sand furniture and learned how to write Chinese with a traditional brush and ink.
    GENERATION KU04.JPG
  • Li Lu, 23, a tattoo artist, poses for a portrait in Beijing. Lu cultivates an outlaw image. At the same time, he hopes China becomes more open. If not, "then we'll go to another country," he says.
    GENERATION KU09.JPG
  • Yan Wei, 25, a tattoo artist poses for a portrait in Beijing.  By the time he was in middle school, China was opening up and he started listening to rock and heavy metal. In old China, criminals were given tattoos so society-at-large would be wary of them even after they were released from prison. Yan sets out to convince people that tattoos can also be art.
    GENERATION KU02.JPG

  • Hazell Jacobs, age 86, displays a Hermes scarf featured in her 61st blog titled “Dray and Horses”, part of her collection of scarves, in her garden at home in south London’s Richmond neighbourhood, England Monday, September 21, 2020.  Since the start of the UK’s shelter-in-place order she had ventured no farther than her garden, subsisting on grocery deliveries from benevolent neighbours and regular phone check-ins from her daughters and grandchildren. She opened a closet and began pulling out a collection: scarves, hundreds of them, gathered over decades of travels around the world. There were countless memories stitched into their hems, each silky expanse a story waiting to be told. Jacobs sat down, and she started to write.  The result was Scarf Aid, a blog Jacobs has maintained faithfully since March 26. (Elizabeth Dalziel for the New York Times)
