LI You (Shanghai, Corporate Staff) I work in a foreign company. The daily work is full of stress and business. After work, I come back home and want to do nothing at all. I may spend two hours in the bathtub for relaxation, or watch a movie. I am also a part-time Internet writer.

WEI Yu Fang (Shandong, Vendor) We have miserable life. Battercake and salted vegetable for every meal, accompanied by plain water. When the kids cry for meat dishes, I just cook an egg. As long as it is not rainy, I go out and do my business 15 or 16 hours a day, getting up very early and back home very late. I hope the kids can be good at their study. Even with debts, I will send them to college, no as illiterate as I am. My oldest son works very hard and always brings back awards every semester, which makes my so happy. Some evil people often spite me on my fruit stall, and it makes me really sad.

被访者：胡志红(上海籍 失业工人)

我一个人在家里没事干，就去舞厅跳舞，权当健身。中午在家睡个午觉。老公在大超市里工作，家里装修房子舍不得花钱买墙纸，就想到用单位里的广告促销单当墙纸贴，有特色吧(一串爽朗的笑声)?!家里三个人，儿子在读中专，就靠老公一人挣钱，经济上很紧。希望儿子将来有出息，挣大钱。

我在一家外资公司从事销售工作，白天工作很辛苦，心理压力很大。下班后总希望回到属于自己的舒适温罄的家。但目前还没有经济条件，只能暂时租一间公寓过日子。这里只能算我的“窝”，还算不上家
