I think after they have graduated from university, I think 22 years, I am not sure. in China women retired at 50 years old and the men retired at 55 years old, but I know there will have a new policy to delay the retire time. Because the development of the teenager people can live longer. 50 is a little early. So maybe when I come to retire, maybe 60 years old. Now this generation, my mothers generation after they retire they can take care of the grand children or dancing in the park. Only to traveling or some relaxing things. But when I retired, I don’t know, maybe we don’t want to take care of our grand children we just want to live by our style. And for money more money, 3,000. If I don’t have house, money, only for retired people. Maybe only I think 4,000 or 5,000. If not more, considering about the salary.

One thing fortunately, my colleague is good. no one make me uncomfortable. at least in our department at least everyone is good. My department is at the same age, we can have many topics to talk after work. I have one colleague near me is also a girl and she is Shanghainese, and after she graduated she got married. she is outgoing and kind.  She entered the company after me and she is 3 years old younger than me. And because of she is outgoing so she can find many topics to talk with me. I think she’s funny, and her sometimes her ideal is very different from me. We have different view about things, I really like animal I want to have a dog or a pet but she don’t like pets and he don’t like child.
