Photographer Rian Dundon explores the disaffected youth of Changsha, Hunan Province, for Time magazine:
Like many young people in Changsha, Mao Ce has great difficulty discussing his future. “I feel that my life is like a wind, blowing quickly and changing direction often,” he says. “I have no plan for my future, and I don’t want one. I never think about my future.” Twenty-four-year-old Mao’s comments are not reflective of some melancholic post-teen pouting — his feelings of resentment and despair are commonplace among the young adults of Changsha.
