And you know we have the tradition that younger generations support the elders financially, and taking care of them when they're sick. So it means young couples will have to support four parents who have a life expectancy as to 73 years old. So making a living is not that easy for young people. College graduates are not in short supply. In the urban areas, college graduates find the starting salary is about 400 U.S. dollars a month, while the average rent is above $500. So what they do? They have to share space, and squeezed in very limited space to save money, and they call themselves "tribe of ants". And for those who are ready to get married and buy their apartment, they figured out they have to work for 30 to 40 years to afford their first apartment. That ratio in America would only cost a couple five years to earn, but in China it's 30 to 40 years with the high rocketing real estate price.
在這個國家，傳統(tǒng)是讓年輕人來從經(jīng)濟上和醫(yī)療上來支持老年人，這意味著，一對年輕的夫妻將需要支持四個平均年齡是73歲的老人。所以對于年輕人而言，生活并不是容易。本科畢業(yè)生也不在是緊缺資源。在城市中，本科生的月起薪通常是400美元（2500人民幣），而公寓的平均月租金卻是500美元。所以他們的解決方式是合租——擠在有限的空間中以節(jié)省開支，他們叫自己”蟻族。“ 對于那些準備好結(jié)婚并希望購買一套公寓的中國年輕夫婦而言，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)他們必須要不間斷的工作30到40年才可以負擔(dān)得起一套公寓。對于同樣的美國年輕夫婦而言，他們只需要五年時間。
