Co-organised by China Youth Studies and Beijing Youth Daily, and supported by youth-oriented newspapers, magazines and Web sites, the activity could become an annual event to document the ever-changing youth culture.
The list covers a wide range of topics, including serious issues. Among the entries are '9-11', 'bin Laden', 'WTO', 'anti-terrorism' and 'Olympics'.
Others reflect youth culture - 'cool', 'mei-mei' (pretty girls), 'MP3' and 'flash'. Then there are words such as 'knowledgist' that have been invented in response to new-economy phenomena.
