It's true. I am lucky because I have a sister. So my kid will have her aunt.

Wan, I am curious what you think of China's one child policy? Good or bad?

Now I think recently China allows more than one child. Anyway, probably the government wants to control the alarming number of population in China. But still with 2 or 3 children, most Chinese still can afford. No doubt nowadays, not only education but cost of living is quite exorbitantly high.

Wan,

The young Chinese parents love their kids too much. They always give their best to their kids. My grandpa and grandpa have 5 children. All of them grow up at last. It depends on how you raise your children. It is easy to make them become adults. But it is difficult to make them become top or excellent adults.

That's why more and more parents choose to have one child. They give all their best and hope that they can be successful in the future. By the way, many young Chinese parents suffer too much pressure. Because many of the young parents were born as the only child in their family, they have to support their parents and parents in law and pay for the apartment loans.

Filial piety? Usually our parents bought the land and house very cheap in those days. Paying for parents and in-law never arise. For me, I paid my own house that I bought and my children won't be paying for me. They have their own responsibilities. Unlike in China, a husband needs to buy a house before marriage, and I bought a low cost terrace house eight years after my marriage. The right time I felt I could afford to buy a house for my family.

Wan,

How lucky you are! Many young boys can not find a girl to get married because they can not afford to buy an apartment.

My parents do not want to see that I can not get married. Thus, they take out all their savings and paid the down payment for an apartment. My little sister also gave me a certain amount of money.
