Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | 'My mother always wants to save money - I want to spend it': "Feng was 26 when she married (her husband, Lilian's dad, is an engineer and away working) and they had two children. Lilian was 29 when she married Richard and her parents are prepared for the possibility that she will have no children. In the future, says Lilian, every Chinese young person will be expected to support four to six oldies; she figures that they will have enough on their plates without children, too."
Hmmmm! Gives substance to the UN report predicting an aging global population.
