And "A Twerp's Nuts"

Some stats are ridiculous! A monthly salary of RMB45 ?That might be true 30 years ago.

I think they might be talking about 20 - 30 years ago. Wang (the child) is 29.

well,for a heart failure patient,he could have a new cloned heart!

Just like in the movie The Island, where a powerful insurance company has clones of all its customers. Those clones stand ready to provide for potential failing organs in the body of their real-life counterparts.

Immoral as a concept. Excellent as a sci-fi movie scenario.

why doesn't he call it "ginix"?

they all have more than one child

It can be confusing in the UK where economy is usually quoted in mpg whilst petrol is sold in litres.

Actually I think the Imperial system is better in this case. I find it easier to remember a number which is an integer in the 20-40 range than a real between 5 and 10.

I find that in my mind, most of the relevant numbers tend to get rounded up to "a bit less than ten" anyway.
