WHAT LIES at the far reaches of the universe? This is a question that science has yet to answer, but most young people in China today already have an answer. According to them, at the end of the universe is not the Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy or the Canes Venatici Constellation, but a government job.
宇宙的尽头是什么？科学界对这个问题尚无定论，但今天大多数的中国年轻人已经有了答案。在他们看来，宇宙尽头不是银河系、仙女座或猎犬座，而是编制。
Observing changing attitudes about government jobs among young people in China over the course of the past four decades of the reform era can reveal the deep-seated changes that have taken place in the structure of Chinese society.
观察改革开放40年来中国年轻人对编制的态度变化，可以揭示中国社会结构发生的深层次变化。
