“I won’t choose to be a housewife as I don’t think it is a wise choice to give up my career for a family. I definitely will hire someone to tidy up my apartment if I get married. I don’t want to be old and fat.” chen duan, 20, university student
“I persuaded my wife to quit her job when she gave birth to our son as her salary was almost the same as the cost of hiring a nanny. It is a tradition in my family that women become housewives when they have babies” Zhu Chengjun, 33, sales manager
“I went back to work three months after my daughter was born in 1987. I also encouraged my daughter to be a working mother when she gave birth in 2013. It is better to work with others and stay close to the real world instead of being trapped in a small apartment.” Ye Jingwei, 56, retired accountant
“I would say don’t be a housewife. I stayed at home for half a year to take care of my baby girl, and it was even more tiring than working. What’s more, it can get boring and frustrating.” Yang Zhangjie 34, teacher
