You Chinese If You Never Retire
You Chinese if you never retire.
Retirement seems like a great concept and has been taken up by Chinese living in the West - or has it? Do Chinese really ever retire? In China, there was no such thing as retirement; just working life and then death.
However, now that Chinese people have caught onto the concept of retirement and are forced to quit their jobs of daily sustenance, they find other things to do. They take care of the grandchildren, cook and clean for the extended family, or maybe sell their wares by the side of the road whilst chatting to their pals all day. You know nobody's gonna buy their stuff - they just do it to pass the time.
