00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: It fits in and with her with Cambridge podcast.

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 2: Let's talk about being a kid.

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,959
Speaker 1: You know what like in it's hard, it's when heavy

4
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 1: ups and downs.

5
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 2: It's a roller coaster. But I didn't know this. But

6
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 2: over in China this could. I don't mind this. I

7
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 2: would consider doing this with my boys. But as China's

8
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 2: economy continues to struggle, young people are choosing to become

9
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 2: full time children.

10
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: I'm just a kid. They do that age to find

11
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: your behavior, but I feel like I'm still a kid. Yeah,

12
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: I know, no, but this is I'd like to be

13
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: a full time kid.

14
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 2: So these kids are going back to their mum and dad,

15
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 2: and their mum and dad are paying them as full

16
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 2: time children.

17
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: They're paying for them, paying them to be back home.

18
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: But they have to do chalk like this is a

19
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: proper job.

20
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: This is a proper.

21
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: Job for wealthy families.

22
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: No, not wealthy families.

23
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: So this is getting a made or a housekeeper.

24
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 2: Thirty one year old Zang Jaae is her name. She's

25
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 2: in Hangzu in China. She started a clothing company in

26
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 2: early twenty twenty, and her turnover was falling. Business was

27
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 2: getting harder every year. Missus Zang now spends her days

28
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 2: in her new role looking after her parents wants and needs.

29
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 2: In return, they pay her sixteen hundred dollars a month,

30
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: so four hundred bucks a week. Right, and she said

31
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 2: things are quite routine. I help them with exercise, organize

32
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: their holidays. I provide tech support ia. I go for

33
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 2: morning exercise with my mum. I do tai chi that

34
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: she's been learning lately. My parents love traveling, so I

35
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 2: make plans for them when they have trouble with digital devices.

36
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: I also help them with that around the house. So

37
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 2: she's now paid as a full time child daughter at

38
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: the house.

39
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: I mean that's what kids would normally do. It sounds

40
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: like the parents to aging, so they're on the elderly

41
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 1: side of things. Thirty one.

42
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,919
Speaker 2: You would think your parents are in your fifties, your sixties.

43
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: I would suggest maybe that they're a little bit older,

44
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: and that's why she needs to go. No, mum, this

45
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: is how face time works. No no, no, you plug

46
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: it in the other end. No no, no no. I

47
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: will book the tickets. You don't need to go to

48
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: a travel agent. I will book your tickets to Bali.

49
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: He's another one.

50
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 2: Whitney Shang Witney shang Whitney, No whitty w I d

51
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 2: t y whitty whitt Tommy, isn't it whitney Shaang? That's

52
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 2: a tough one to pronounce. He was a high achiever

53
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 2: at school, but he's decided to become a full time

54
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 2: son earlier this year. He's an only child. He was

55
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,119
Speaker 2: born in the year two thousand, during China's one child policy,

56
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 2: but he said I felt a strong sense of family

57
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: responsibility and a big part of his decision was a

58
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 2: desire to spend time with his sick grandmother, who lives

59
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: with his parents. So now, mister Shane used to work

60
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 2: from nine am to nine pm or even ten pm,

61
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 2: five days a week, which he considered okay, but in

62
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: comparison now all his ex work colleagues are going, this

63
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 2: is a great idea. We want to go back and

64
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: work for our.

65
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: Parents full time.

66
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

67
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: I just feel if I'm going back to be a

68
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: full time kid, I'm going to need kid treatment, Like,

69
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: can I have two dollars to go to the Lolli shop?

70
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: Do you I need that kind of gear? Mum? I'm hungry.

71
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: It needs to hit one stage where it reverse is

72
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: slightly going back to I'm the kid, and I need

73
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: my bed.

74
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 2: Tough having a SICKI in it.

75
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, really tough when you can't pull the wall over

76
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: your boss's eyes because they're in the next room, possibly

77
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: the same rune.

78
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 2: Did you get holidays in that as well?

79
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: Would you? Would you get long sit you got a

80

Speaker 1: holiday with your staff?

81
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: Imagine if you could convince your parents for long service

82
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: leave because you've been at the house for a long while.

83
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: If you're doing the travel agent work as well, you're

84
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: going to put your book yourself on that.

Speaker 2: This is the thing.

00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: Well, you couldn't hook up with an employee you.

88
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 2: Did you get in the sack?

89
