Topic1 Salary GapEarlier this week, the National Bureau of Statistics, or NBS, publishes the Average Salary Report 2013. It shows there are still wide income gaps between various jobs. Workers in finance sectors1 still earn the most while those in agriculture, forestry2, animal husbandry and fishery industries earn the least.
What are some of the trends we can tell from the report?

restriction3 on government officials in ShijiazhuangThe Discipline
Inspection4 Commission of Shijiazhuang in Hebei Province recently announced new rules to prevent private banquets and parties from becoming opportunities for

Topic4
Cremation8 in Anqing CityThe Oriental Morning Post in Shanghai published an article saying that six local elderly people in Anqing of Anhui Province committed suicide so their bodies could be buried legally in
coffins10. But local government denied that the suicide was connected to a new rule on cremation.
According to a notice from Anqing government on March 25, all
corpses11 must be
cremated12 after June 1st.
Anqing was one of two cities in the province which still allowed
coffin9 burial. At the end of 2013, only 11 percent of deceased in the city were cremated, far lower than the
provincial13 average of 80 percent.
What happened?
Topic5 Do We Still Need Reformatory SchoolsIn China, reformatory schools or Gong Du Xue Xiao, are special education institutions for students whose misconducts are not as serious as crimes. Such schools used to exist and
prosper14, but are now in a tight corner.
Why is that? Do we still need these schools?
Topic6 Do Chinese tourists need to be educated?
More and more Chinese are traveling around the world.
The country's rising outbound tourism could be challenging for those in the travel or hospitality trade to adapt at an equal if not faster pace.
Now a business insider says hotels can play an active role in educating the tourists to make everybody just a little bit happier.
Does it make sense?
