Mumbai, Cairo, Kenya…now Dailan. ABC completed its four-part series 21 and the World is Yours on global twentysomethings in the coastal city, population 6m, "China's Silicon Valley," according to Stephanie Sy. Sy's profile of Dang Qian, a kung-fu practicing student of English at Dailan University, included a midair interview in a Coca-Cola sponsored ski-lift-style chair and an all-you-can-eat seafood dinner. Sy traveled 1,200 miles inland to meet Qian's family, the only peasants in his village this year to have a college-educated son. They pay $2,500 for his annual tuition, making the extra money by selling duck meat at the local market: "With two children making ends meet is extremely difficult yet they laid out a generous feast for us."
