Old people in hk

Hong Kong is a strange place. Old people continue working. Most people work 6 days a week. Most singles wouldn't be able to pay for their own apartment. 30-40 square meters is normalish size for family upto four people.

A person from China, who by no means are rich commented on the fact that so many old people work in Hong Kong: shouldn't they be in the park walking a dog or something. In China you take care of your parents. The children are the retirement. In Hong Kong which on surface looks like modern society on many ways is seemingly stuck in the 50ies. People in China usually work only 5 days.
