“My son stays at home and plays on-line games all day long, still spending our income,” Zhang Baoguo, a Shanghai citizen said Thursday in an interview with the local Wenhui Daily, unable to conceal his concern.
Zhang is busy looking for a job for his son, a college graduate, who not long before gave up his job with a monthly income of 2,000 yuan. “He complained to us that the job restrained him too much,” Zhang said.
A recent survey by a research institute for the elderly said around 30 percent Chinese adults nowadays live with their parents, and some of them even believed that they are born to depend on their parents and that they have a duty to shoulder their children’s lives.
