The younger generation has been expressing their concerns about the environment at the 15th UN Climate Change Conference.

Li Chuheng, or Jenna Li, is a 17-year-old high school student from Beijing, who participated in the Children's Climate Forum, held in Copenhagen. There she and her young peers drafted and published the Youth Climate Declaration, in an attempt to influence the world leaders' decisions. Earlier this week I had the opportunity to meet and speak with this impressive young woman.

You're listening to Heartbeat, the show that gets to the centre of China's ever-changing lifestyle, yet still manages to discover the country's rich cultural heritage.

One of the biggest trends in China is the move towards "Created in China," instead of "Made in China." Today we'll visit a "Box Shop," a new trend in Chinese design and retail.

The box shop is a regular store in a regular mall. But the business model is anything but regular. All the products are designed and made by individual people, not large companies. These designers are bringing innovative ideas to the market and contributing to the creative dynamism of China. Thomas Rippe and Xiao Dong have more.

Thanks Tom and Xiao Dong and thank YOU for tuning into Heartbeat.

Now it's time for some music.

Last weekend, Hong Kong singer-songwriter Karen Mok rocked Beijing's worker's stadium with more than 30 of her most popular songs. Let's wrap up today's show with one of her classic hits: "If I Don't Have You." (如果沒有你)

That was Karen Mok and 'If I don't have you'.

As always you can find more information on our website at crienglish.com. Special thanks to the 'China Now' team that helped make this show possible and for everyone here at Heartbeat. I'm Jules Page. Thanks for listening.
