　　Bobos1 In Shangr i-La

　　Just when China's new affluents have begun to enjoytheir xiaozi, or bourgeois lifestyle( a downtownapartment, flashy automobiles and Starbucksmochaccinos ) , along comes a book from America tostir up their lifestyles. Recently young Chinese have been snapping up2 copies of the newlytranslated version of“Bobos in Paradise 3”, by American author David Brooks. The book’s thesis— that the bohemian spirit of the 1960 s has come together with the acquisitive impulses of the1980 s to create the hybrid bourgeois-bohemian, a. k. a. 4 the Bobo — has sparked debate allaround China .“All my friends are talking about the Bobos, ”one Beijing book shopper told theofficial Xinhua News Agency. Clubs have been formed offering lectures and discussions on theBobo Lifestyle , and Bobo magazines are appearing on newsstands. Chinese Bobos are beingtargeted by everyone from real- estate agents to mobile phone companies. A local businessmanopened the Bar in Beijing, which is fitted with computers so customers can check their e -mailwhile sitting on rustic Chinese furniture hand-picked by the owner from peasant villages. Websites keep springing up to help people determine if they are“Bobo qualified”, and if so, how toact appropriately.

　　As the“ pleased and surprised”Brooks waits to see whether he’ll get his fair share of authorroyalties out of the phenomenon (“I mean, that’s a billion copies, ”he told journalist) , Beijingis breeding its fair share of Bobo-bashers. Another journalist says the average Chinese personhas a strong disdain for the nouveau riche5 . He wonders how many Chinese today earnenough to be considered a Bobo. And, he argues, those who do are more bourgeois thanbohemian.“We have people with a lot of money, but there’s no social consciousness. ”Hesays. “ Rich people don’t care about the environment, unemployment, rural problems ormine disasters. ”
