| Abstract: | This paper explores ethnographically how Chinese youth navigated competing, but not mutually incompatible, demands between collective responsibility and self-interest in their everyday lives under the Class Cadre System--a nationwide student leadership and classroom management institution. This research advances the anthropological framework of competing moralities to conceptualize the experiences of Chinese youth and proposes a search for moral balance as a valuable lens for understanding how young people negotiate these demands in both school and society. |
