Reporting by Zhang Tianyi

On November 17, 2013, Zhang Tianyi held a book signing for his new work "90’S Don't Be a Mob and Don't Follow the Herd" and a themed lecture on "Entrepreneurship is Risking Death to Survive" at the auditorium of Beijing Foreign Studies University. Guests present include Liu Guokun, a post-80s emerging photographer who is the producer of the promotional video "90’s Don’t Be a Mob or Follow the Crowd", and Tong Yusen, a post-80s designer who graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts and the founder of Fusion Music Brand. Zhang Tianyi shared his life thinking and entrepreneurial experience with college students born in the 1990s, which triggered discussions among college students about how to choose life after 1990s. The atmosphere was warm and questions were raised enthusiastically. A classmate expressed his emotion on the spot: "Some people in the outside world once called us post-90s the "degenerate generation" and labeled us as "too self-centered", "non-mainstream", "entertainment", etc.; of course, some people criticized us. The current social system and educational system have deeply constrained and constrained the post-90s generation. Unfortunately, the post-90s generation group itself has never shown any major resistance, nor has it expressed its voice or expressed its opinions openly and forcefully. I have been hesitating and waiting, hoping that one day someone from the post-90s generation will stand up to speak for their own group.

Finally, I have waited for this day! Yes, today, the post-90s generation can finally proudly say: From now on, this situation will be completely changed! This means that the post-90s generation has grown up. The post-90s generation has the ability to reflect on their own groups. The post-90s generation must also make their voices heard to the outside world! ”
