A not-so-small- boy is carried by his father after having a tantrum on Tiananmen Square in Beijing. With the adoption in 1979 of the limited birth policy, which rapidly changed from a three to a two to a one child per couple policy, China became a child-centered culture rather than an adult-centered one. The only child is indulged by parents and grandparents and is often spoiled; this is known as the "little emperor syndrome."
