China's young generation is like none that has come before in the People's Republic. It's grown up riding the wave of China's growing prosperity, of hi-tech advances and of globalization. And this generation includes more "only children" than anyplace else on earth, probably anytime in human history. About 100 million of them have been born since the Communist government enacted a one-child policy, 27 years ago.

The World's Mary Kay Magistad reports on this new generation in a seven-part series.
