Topic 1-The removal of National Holiday Office after 14 yearsThe National Holiday Office has been a subject of criticism for years.
Its decisions, for example, to 'pick-n-mix' all national holidays with weekends and abolish the 'May First golden week,' have been severely 1 criticized by Chinese workers.
Now, after a good 14 years it is going to be removed on September the 15th. Topic 2-Beijing raises hiring standard for foreign employeesAs China's economy continues to open to the outside world, more and more foreigners are seeking jobs in China, especially among the more developed Chinese cities.
Foreigners mainly work in IT, computer science, education, consulting, and science and technology.
Recently, Beijing's municipal government has announced a new employment standard for foreigners, lifting the threshold for acquiring a job in the city.
Topic-3-Bath House closingFor many elderly citizens in Beijing, taking a bath with several good friends in a public bathhouse, enjoying traditional rubdown, chatting and enjoying tea together probably are the most indispensable things in their daily lives.
Unfortunately, there is bad news.
One of Beijing's oldest traditional bathhouses will be completely shut down on this weekend, which makes many locals nostalgic.
