Netizens get nostalgic after '90s milestone

WeChat and Sina Weibo, two of China's most popular social media, have been awash with nostalgia in recent days, as millions of netizens have posted pictures of themselves at age 18.

The trend was inspired by the fact the arrival of 2018 means even the youngest members of the '90s generation - those born from 1990 to 1999 - have now turned 18 and entered adulthood.

While some have simply posted images online of their younger selves, many have also shared memories of their hopes and dreams from that time, as well as reflections on the swift passing of time.
