Family life
I don't know the names of the other family members - it's consdered too tricky.
They are
- mother-of
- father-of
- wife-of
- baby-of
Father-of manages some maintenance activity at or near Tiananmen.
Mother-of is housewife
Wife-of is a nurse.
Baby-of is 4 months old. He seems to get the full-time attention of at least one adult whenever he is awake and often two. In the morning, father-of leaves at 8am baby arrives soon after with wife-of, or Yang who breakfast then go to work, leaving baby-of with mother-of.
In the evening, all the family eat together (to the accompianment of Chinese news in Chinese or English documentaries about China) except the rota'd babyminder who alternately raises the baby-of to hyper level 7 and then tries to soothe it to sleep with random whistling.
Then mother-of and wife-of take baby-of across to Yang's apartment for sleep. After about half-an-hour Yang and mother-of switch apartments. During that half-hour basketball may be watched on TV.
