Jasmine’s Father By Paul Tan It’s such an irony. I had always thought that marriage for my only child Jasmine was a given. As with all my other siblings‚ marriage was not only to ensure one’s continued progeny‚ it was protection against censure and unwanted speculation. Most importantly‚ it was the best safeguard against loneliness‚ especially in one’s twilight years. Jasmine today is still single at thirty-five‚ living it up in Vancouver where she migrated.

We find that China’s motion towards a Socialist party is integrated down to the people’s level‚ even implemented and enforced in the daycares.
