Neighbourhoods in China
Networks in China are like ripples in water, ego-centric, extending in social circles. This is a metaphor for Chinese collectivism.
​
For young people in their 20s, the traditional modes of neighbourhood are similar. People lived in staff residential zones because they share common work or social relations.
​Xiong:
We were like families
" I lived in school staff buildings for 11years, growing up with children of other staffs like my parents. We were so close, in a relaxed, warm atmosphere. People took care of each other, like a big family.
​
Years later, we all moved to other buildings. And I know that our life tracks will not meet again.”
