A mentally disabled worker worked in a brick factory for many years, and all his wages were taken by the foreman. 刘娜: Yes, I saw it too. He moved hundreds of thousands of bricks every day but didn’t get even a single cent. This is so unfair. 小潘: He’s so pitiful. I heard he worked for eighteen years and in the end couldn’t even recognize his own mother. 刘娜: It’s heartbreaking. Mentally disabled workers are also laborers, and their work should be respected. 小潘: Will the foreman be punished? 刘娜: Yes. The police have already opened an investigation. According to the law, forcing someone to work is a crime. 小潘: I hope things like this never happen again. Everyone should be treated fairly. 刘娜: That’s right. A society’s civility is not just about economic development, but also about protecting its most vulnerable people.

The teacher said that in the future there will be a day when we don’t have to do homework. 小刚: A 'no-homework day' means the school won’t assign homework one day a week, so everyone can relax a bit. 小宝: Wow, then can I play more? 小刚: Of course. You can draw with me, play ball, or rest early. 小宝: But will Mom make me study something else? 小刚: Some parents might arrange extracurricular classes, but teachers and experts hope that on a 'no-homework day' we can rest well and do what we like. 小宝: I love 'no-homework day' the most. That way I can play with you. 小刚: Yes, studying is important, and resting is important too. Only when we're healthy can we study better.

Do Chinese children really face that much study pressure? 刘娜: Yes, that’s true. In China, there’s a saying: ‘Don’t lose at the starting line.’ Many parents arrange various learning activities for their children from a very young age, fearing they’ll fall behind their peers. 优子: Why is that? In Japan, although there’s also pressure to enter good schools, it doesn’t seem this intense. 刘娜: It’s mainly because the college entrance exam, or *gaokao*, is extremely important in China. People often say, ‘One exam determines your whole life.’ The *gaokao* score basically decides which university you can enter, and that affects your future job and social status. So the whole family works toward this goal. 优子: I’ve heard of the term ‘chicken baby’. What does it mean? 刘娜: ‘Chicken baby’ refers to parents who constantly push their children to study, like giving them a ‘shot of chicken blood’ to energize them. Nowadays, many parents have become ‘chicken baby parents’, filling their children’s schedules with tutoring classes. 优子: Is that good for the kids? I think childhood should be happier. 刘娜: You’re right. Recently, the government introduced the ‘Double Reduction’ policy to ease students’ academic burden. More and more parents are reflecting on this, hoping their children can grow up healthier and happier instead of just chasing grades.

When I ask for directions, people are always friendly. 刘娜: These are all results of China’s social development. Now China and Malaysia have a visa-free policy, making travel between the two countries very convenient. 小潘: I think happiness is actually very simple — feeling safe, having convenient transportation, and kind people around. 刘娜: You said it well. China welcomes more foreign friends to travel, communicate, and experience a happy life together.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs said that the average life expectancy in China has now reached 79 years, five years higher than the world average. 黄刚: Yes, I saw it. That’s really good news. It shows that our living standards and medical conditions are improving. But the growing number of elderly people is also a challenge. 陈花: Right. The news said there are already 310 million people over 60 nationwide, accounting for 22% of the total population. My parents often say we need to think about elderly care in advance. 黄刚: I think the country is also working hard on this. For example, it’s promoting the “Silver-Age Action” to let older people take part in volunteer work and encourage them to continue contributing. 陈花: I really like this idea of “older people still having something meaningful to do.” Some retired teachers at my school now teach calligraphy to kids in the community, and they’re in great spirits. 黄刚: Yes, when elderly people join social activities, they not only help others but also keep themselves happy. The country is also building “age-friendly communities,” which is very meaningful. 陈花: But I still worry about some issues, like scams targeting the elderly and medical burdens. I heard the government is also strengthening legal protection and cracking down on fraud aimed at seniors. 黄刚: That’s right, the policies are becoming more detailed. In the future, we also need to learn to plan for our own later years — not just to live long, but to live well.

Is that true? 刘娜: Yes, it’s true. Nowadays, 'renting instead of buying' is very popular. For example, you can rent a high-end camera for about 30 yuan per day, and the photo quality is great. 优子: Wow, that’s so convenient! In Japan, people also rent clothes and bags, but I didn’t expect that cameras can be rented too. 刘娜: Yes, it not only saves money but also avoids the problem of unused items. Some people just want to take photos during holidays, so renting is much more cost-effective. 优子: I think this kind of lifestyle feels relaxed—you don’t need to own everything, just being able to use it is enough. 刘娜: Right, this reflects a new consumption mindset among young people—‘a light-burden lifestyle’. But before renting, it’s important to check the credibility of the business to avoid being scammed.
