Topic1-new policy on School district entrollment

 

The Ministry¹ of Education has announced a new policy that states: for school admission, each school district will allow student enrollment² to several schools, instead of “one school district, one school”. This news has not been welcomed by property owners of the so-called “school district housing学区房.” As they say their investment into such housing will go south.

 

Topic2- Couples share the same profession

 

Beyonce and Jay Z, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie (brangelina), Bill & Hilary Clinton, 杨绛&钱钟书. What do these married couples have in common? Yeah, aside from they’re all power couples with huge weight in their respective field: be it entertainment, politics or academia, these are couples in the same profession. Is having a shared profession good or bad for marriage?

 

Topic3-Disappearing public bathhouses

 

Old bathhouses are on the brink³ of extinction⁴ in Shanghai because of lack of business. These public baths seem to have little appeal for the younger generation. Will a makeover revive its business?
