Abstract: The inherent tension between traditional ethics and sexual identity among young gay men in Chinese culture has constructed the unique living condition of them. Based on autoethnography, this paper traces a life course focusing on identity negotiation mechanisms of a young gay in multiple fields including family, workplace, school, and online communities. This transformation not only reflects the gradual adjustment of traditional ethics in Chinese modernization, but also provides a reference for understanding the adaptability of minority groups in China.
