Just a comment, but, The last 60 years have contained more social change around the world than any other period in history. For instance there have been more inventions in the last one hundred years than the whole of human history, there have been more inventions in the last 10 years than the previous 90. The availabilty to mass transport, communication, disease, capitalism, and so on has never been the same. 60 years in say the 14th century is not very important but in current social climes, 60 years is an entire structure of development akin, in the case of some countries, of peasent agricultural societies largely bypassing an industrial revolution and going straight to informaitonal society.
60 years is far from petty.

More 'social change?' In the context of the P.R.C. please expand as in my view you still have a population that is largely based on a serf/peon farmer model.
