Picture yourself in Beijing, specifically Zhongguancun, China's Silicon Valley, enjoying a coffee in a lively café turned coworking space. Around you, young and ambitious entrepreneurs--mostly men in their twenties--are hard at work on their laptops, coding their latest apps or polishing their presentation decks. Now, let's switch to a peaceful village in the northern Shandong province, where an elderly woman is keeping traditional weaving skills alive by manufacturing bulrush futons in the privacy of her home. Next door, a couple in their thirties is setting up a store on the popular e-commerce platform Taobao to sell the handicrafts created by their senior neighbor. Jump cut to a nondescript suburban area in North America, where a Chinese mother in her thirties, who moved to the United States after marrying a U.S. citizen, shows on WeChat the latest luxury fashion items she purchased during a shopping spree at a local mall. Numerous affluent Chinese customers are joining her livestream, eager to purchase the products she is presenting.
