Xiaozi, is a Chinese cultural term describing a lifestyle chasing western taste, living standard and arts. Originally Xiaozi is the Chinese translation of Petite bourgeoisie. After the Economic reform in the People's Republic of China, some towners in China who had been immersed in the Karl Marx's Class conflict found they were not as pennyless as Proletariat, and were not as rich as Bourgeoisie. They regarded themselves as Petite bourgeoisie to demonstrate their unique or superior living style from the ordinary chinese towners.
