To Be Young, Gifted and Chinese
by Barbara Pollack
Stepping off the plane at Beijing’s new Norman Foster–designed All have studied at major art schools, both in China and abroad. All are Terminal 3 for the first time can be a shock. Beneath a roof designed to mimic a dragon’s tail, your first encounter is with a bank of luxury boutiques—Chanel, Ferragamo, and Lacoste—surprisingly commercial venues in a Communist country. There are no red flags, and the only scrap left of the Cultural Revolution is the Shanghai Tang outlet hawking silk versions of Mao jackets. The taxi line awaits you, obviously free of rickshaws, and a brand-new VW sedan speeds you to the city on an eight-lane superhighway. It is all unabashedly modern, even futuristic, especially when compared with the decades-old infrastructure of most American cities.
