DePaulo said the increase in the number of singl
households has implications for all aspects of society, and more things will need to change as the single population continues to grow.
For example, she cited how food is sold.
“Supermarkets can’t just offer big family-sized packages of things,” she said, and prices on th
ings also need to be fair so “single people should not be charged more per person than couples are”.
“The way we value other people also has to change,” DePaulo added.
Like most fathers, I have kept up the habit of buying cartoon books for my baby
girl, who is now one year old, to encourage her to develop an interest in the outside world.
However, as I opened a new box of books last week, I thought I had placed the wrong order. O
n the cover of the first book the boldly colored headline jumped out: Quantum Physics. The second book I picked
up was titled Quarks. The third one, Aerospace Engineering, looked a little more practical at first glance. However, it w
as only after much closer examination of the cover that I found two much smaller words prefixing each of the headlines: Baby Loves.

We grow high-quality dendrobium without samake a livi
logical environment, allowing the villagers to make a living from the mount
ains,” said Ruan, who introduced the medicinal herb to the forest after a thorough investigation.
Oaks in the village have rough, thick barks, rich in water
and nutrients, making it easier for the dendrobium to attach to the trees and absorb more nutrients.
Since 2013, the company has planted dendrobium on the tree trunks of more than 267 hectares of oak forest.
For a long time, however, transportation difficulties meant the landloc
ked village could not capitalize on its unique ecological advantage. Growing dend
robium officinale was something villagers, including 44-year-old Chen Jian, had never thought of.
“All the oaks are ‘cash cows’ now,” Chen said. “Natural forests cannot be cut, so we did nothing but protect them in the past. Eve
since the dendrobium were ‘planted’ on the tree trunks, the green hills that we have kept for decades have turned into gold.”
Located in Anlong county, in Guizhou’s Qiannan Buyei and Miao autonomous prefect
ure, Zhegui is rich in forestry resources and has a climate that is neither too hot in summer nor too cold in winter.

Dream lifestyles in Dali end in disappointment
“If you are not satisfied with your life and don’t know why you have lost your smile; if you are unhappy and don’t like being where you are, go west – with Dali your destination.”
These lyrics form part of a song in the Chinese blockbuster movie Breakup Buddies, wh
ich was shot mostly in Dali, an attractive city in Yunnan province, and released in 2014.
The film inspired many middle-income earners tired of the hustle and bustle of urban life to quit their jobs in big cities and move to Dali.
However, unlike in Breakup Buddies, many people’s dreams of finding a
better life in Dali – which has provided the perfect backdrop for romantic trysts in hun
dreds of movies – have not had happy endings, and they are beginning to leave for a variety of reasons.
Chu Xiaogui, an author of popular books who moved to Dali from Beijing with her husba
nd in December 2015, said she had since witnessed many friends leaving and returning to their hometowns.

Sales of anti-hair loss products, sleeping pills and aids show market revival
Chinese born in the 1990s, long troubled by hectic lifestyles marked by working till late, heavy

But certain manufacturers are sensing a big business opportunity

Last year, among consumers who bought hair care and hair growth products on e-commerce platforms of Alib
aba Group Holding Ltd, 36 percent were born after 1990, and more than 38 percent were born between 1980 and 1990.
Middle-aged and senior consumers showed lower-than-expected demand for hair c

Vietnamese truck enters China via the Second Beilun River
The bridge will greatly alleviate traffic burden on the First Beilun River Bridge three kilomet
ers away, which was previously the only means of shipping personnel and cargo to or from Dongxing Checkpoint.
Statistics from immigration authorities show that 12.19 million people and 47,056 vehicles passed over the old bridge in 2018, far beyond its maximum capacity.
The new bridge is now designated for freight vehicles, while the First Be
ilun River Bridge is reserved for personnel. This could save 30 minutes or more in custo
ms clearance time for each consignment, according to Huang Xiong, deputy chief of Dongxing Customs.

dom and several other European countries from joining the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank by ac
cusing, without any basis, the then newly established bank of possible low environmental and governance standards.
The real reason, according to former US treasury secretary Larry Summers, was that the Obama adm
inistration could not secure any funding from the Republican-controlled Congress to join the AIIB. And to s
ave itself from embarrassment, the US administration tried to prevent European countries from joining the bank.

This environment created a black market in which bro
okers will offer to dispose of waste at below the market rate.
Brokers charge between $130 and $170 to dump a ton of waste in a sparsely
populated part of the country, says Lee, Kim’s former boss.
Not only can this be a lucrative source of income, the fines for illegal
dumping are only about $3,000, Lee says.
Lee estimates that Kim pocketed upwards of $22 million this way, judging by the extra trash that was found at his site.
A new dumping ground
Since the China ban, South Korea has been using Southeast Asia as a
dumping ground for much of its non-recyclable waste.
The country now exports 10 times more waste to the Philippines and
almost 30 times mor
e to Thailand than it did before Beijing’s ban. But not all the waste sent abroad is
disposed of legally.
