Writing exercise
Yesterday I read a piece of news which is about DINK family in Shanghai. According to the new report which is related to population census of China, the DINK family increase to 12.4% among Shanghai family, and it is a new record to Shanghai. As we know, China was a traditional country and carrying on the family line was the task of every couple all the time, therefore many couples had their children for their elders. But now, the situation is being changed as some couples select to be DINK family and the reason is Chinese values have changed. From the report,the main reasons for being DINK in China are:
Not enough energy, affect work,limited economic capability and affect 2 people’s world. It means that Chinese people have more ideas and more space to choose their own way of life and I think it is an improvement. But from another perspective,it will cause the population aging problem,so how to balance is a topic to the world
