摇呀摇,摇到外婆家
这是我的第一个南方之行——摇呀摇,摇到外婆家。妈咪常说她儿时的家有后院,院中有竹林,林中有鸟儿,鸟儿每天清晨在窗台外为她唱歌……还有葡萄架,有时她爱在葡萄架下听牛郎织女讲故事……如今这些都成记忆了,但她还热爱这个家。妈咪想念外婆,我喜欢旅行,于是,快半岁的我随着妈咪坐上从北方开往遥远南方的火车,摇呀摇,摇到了外婆家。 Continue reading

Should I like to join China’s retirement pension (social insurance) programme?
China’s retirement pension is a welfare programme, but not established because of it. It is created to prevent social unrest and maintain status-quo resource distribution, to prevent young cheap immigrant work force to stay in their working city after retirement, crowding in big cities and creating slums – their impoverished kids are then a source of social unrest. Many consider it a game against the government, with a play-to-win attitude. You may have to play the game. Even if it is set-up against you – for example you are an immigrant worker, and you are to lose – don’t give up, understand it and do the math well, you can still achieve less losses.
This article is only about retirement pension. Luckily other social insurance programmes are less complicated.
