As part of the post-2010 generation (10后), Qiu Wenjun from Nanjing, Jiangsu, has enjoyed a joyful childhood thanks to his open-minded family. The 14-year-old studies at Nanjing No. 29 High School with math being his favorite subject.

Rather than just focusing on his grades, Qiu’s parents encourage him to explore different hobbies. For example, his mother, who studied finance (金融) in college, teaches him about finance and helps him invest (投资) his pocket money to build his understanding of money from an early age.

Qiu’s generation grew up during a time of rapid development in information technology. From a young age, they began using smartphones, tablets and social media.

“I got my first iPhone in Grade 3,” Qiu said. “I used it to listen to books like Harry Potter.” His parents trusted him to use the phone responsibly when he was very young.

With the rise of AI, Qiu has started using AI tools to help with his studies. “I used AI to check and grade my English writing this summer,” he said. However, he also understands the disadvantages of AI, such as problems with fake images (假图像) and misinformation.
