The marked variation between China and other nations in well-being may be due to the influence of national culture [1]. Considering the dramatically different cultural background between China and western societies, to investigate comprehensively Chinese well-being is important. In this literature review, firstly, we will introduce the understanding of well-being for Chinese people. Secondly, we introduce the concept of beauty, which is an important component of Chinese well-being be neglected by western scholars. Thirdly, the differences between Chinese and western well-being are presented. KeywordsWell-Being, Beauty, Chinese Culture, Culture Comparison Well-Being in ChinaChinese researchers normally view well-being as subjective well-being based on traditional culture and values. The meaning of well-being in China is more like "happiness" or "subjective well-being" in related English literatures [2]. This is because subjective Well-Being emphasises an experience which involves evaluation by individuals of their quality of life according to the standard they set for themselves. Democritus is one of the first Geek philosophers suggesting that happiness is only subjective, thus it "does not depend solely on good fortune or indeed on any external contingencies, but also, and even to a greater extent, on a man's cast of mind". In the field of psychology, hedonism tends to be interpreted holistically and with reference to body, mind, and society [3]. We summarize Chinese researchers' achievements, basically based in the view of subjective well-being, and explore the correlations between Chinese welling and psychological wellbeing, which is a new area to be found.

“…Finally, the higher scores in male students in terms of emotional wellbeing and inclusion had already been found (Casas et al, 2008;Gilman et al, 2008). But it is also drawn from the results a relationship between domains of emotional wellbeing and inclusion, both in adolescents with and without SEN; in this regard, a large number of studies have noted how active participation in activities contributes to emotional wellbeing of young people (with or without disability) and allows them to enjoy rewarding and funny experiences (Badía, Longo, Orgaz, & Aguierre, 2010;Danahm-Oliel et al, 2012).…”

INTRODUCTION. The study of the quality of life in adolescence is a fairly new topic in scientific research; having wide implications on the development of educational practices. The pursuit of the educational inclusion requires a commitment from schools to higher participation and satisfaction of all students in their school life. The main objective of this paper is to analyse the perception of the quality of life that adolescent students have with and without special educational needs (SEN). METHOD. This research is a descriptive and exploratory study with a quantitative approach. The impact of personal and educational variables is analysed. The Questionnaire for the Evaluation of the Adolescents Students Quality of life (Gómez-Vela & Verdugo, 2009) was applied to a sample of 438 adolescents at ages between 12-19 in Galician schools (Spain). It assesses seven domains: emotional wellbeing, interpersonal relationships, personal development, physical wellbeing, inclusion (originally, it was referred to as integration/ presence in the community), material wellbeing, and self-determination. RESULTS. The results showed appropriate levels of quality of life in all adolescents. These being slightly lower for students with Intellectual Disability (ID) in the domains of self-determination and physical wellbeing, and students with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in physical wellbeing. Younger students, generally, achieved better results, especially in physical wellbeing and self-determination. These domains had lower scores in students of Special Educational Centers (SEC). Male students earned higher scores on emotional wellbeing and inclusion than female students. DISCUSSION. These findings suggest the presence of regular needs of students that require special care by schools, as well as specific needs that demand a response based on personalized support adapted to each student, especially students vulnerable to social and educative exclusion.

“…Los resultados de este estudio muestran que los varones adolescentes experimentan una mejor calidad de vida en general, que concuerda con los resultados de estudios previos (Días, Bastos, Marzo y García, 2015; Raboteg-Saric, Brajsa-Zganec y Sakic, 2008), especialmente en bienestar emocional y físico e inclusión (Gilman et al, 2008;Urzúa y Mercado, 2008).…”

Este trabajo explora la influencia de diversos factores personales (sexo, edad y presencia de NEAE) sobre la calidad de vida de la adolescencia. Mediante metodología cuantitativa, se aplica Cuestionario de Evaluación de la Calidad de Vida de Alumnos adolescentes (CCVA, Gómez-Vela y Verdugo, 2009) a 2220 estudiantes (12-19 años). Los resultados muestran mayor satisfacción con la vida en alumnado varón y más joven experimenta, y peor en alumnado con NEAE. Las tres variables estudiadas, de forma independiente, contribuyen a explicar las diferencias, pero no conjuntamente. Se propone continuar el estudio analizando la influencia de variables ambientales (familia, escuela).
