A vibrant, colorful, and revelatory inner history of China during a moment of profound transformation

From abroad, we often see China as a caricature: a nation of pragmatic plutocrats and ruthlessly dedicated students destined to rule the global economy-or an addled Goliath, riddled with corruption and on the edge of stagnation. What we don't see is how both powerful and ordinary people are remaking their lives as their country dramatically changes.
As the Beijing correspondent for The New Yorker, Evan Osnos was on the ground in China for years, witness to profound political, economic, and cultural upheaval. In Age of Ambition, he describes the greatest collision taking place in that country: the clash between the rise of the individual and the Communist Party's struggle to retain control. He asks probing questions: Why does a government with more success lifting people from poverty than any civilization in history choose to put strict restraints on freedom of expression? Why do millions of young Chinese professionals-fluent in English and devoted to Western pop culture-consider themselves angry youth, dedicated to resisting the West's influence? How are Chinese from all strata finding meaning after two decades of the relentless pursuit of wealth?
Writing with great narrative verve and a keen sense of irony, Osnos follows the moving stories of everyday people and reveals life in the new China to be a battleground between aspiration and authoritarianism, in which only one can prevail.

Easy To Apply! Deeply Hydrating!
Color: Urea Cream, Color: Urea Cream
FREEORR Urea Cream 60% with Salicylic Acid 2% Foot Care Stick, Deeply Moisturizing and Hydrating Foot and Hand Balm, Gentle Exfoliation Anti-Cracking Foot Cream. This urea cream has quickly become one of my favorites! The stick makes this easy to apply with a simple rub over the area I want to moisturize. It has a creamy texture that feels light and absorbs into my skin quickly. It doesn't leave a greasy or sticky residue. It's gentle on my skin but effective at softening dry rough patches on my elbows, knees, and heels. My skin feels smoother and softer. It doesn't have a strong scent or really any scent that I could tell. Great value!

Anti Crack Cream
Color: 2pcs
As a first time user of O’CHEAL Anti Crack Care Cream…Wasn’t too satisfied with this product! The Peach scent wasn’t as solid as the original. I had a difficult time pulling the cover off and the stick broke…making application really messy! Product did not live up to the advertisement!
