      A Bali isle was plagued by trash. Residents made cleaning up pay

Women in 21st century China want more from their lives than marriage and children After three Lunar New Year holidays in a row disrupted by China’s zero-COVID policy, Ann Pei, Mona Zhao, and Wenyi Hai were thrilled to be able to leave Shanghai and return to their families for this year’s festive season. But amid the excitement, they were also a little apprehensive. “I knew that my mum and my grandparents would want to have a talk with me about marriage and children, especially since I’m in my thirties, and I wasn’t looking forward to that,” 31-year-old Ann Pei told Al Jazeera…
