Hi, Natasha, how's life?
Great. My family came to visit me.
Oh, you must be very happy. How many people are there in your family?
My immediate family is very large. It's my mother, my father, my two older brothers, my younger sister and me.
I have a small family. They are my parents, my younger brother and me.
I thought you were the only child in the family. Didn't China practice the only-child policy in the early 1980s?
Yes, it did. But my parents are ethnic minority people. It's a preferential policy for an ethnic minority family to have two children.
Interesting. What do you think about families with only one child?
The child must feel very longly. My younger brother is 10 years younger than me. Before he was born, I used to be the only child and always dreamed that I would have a younger sister or brother one day.
Do you get along well with each other?
Yes, we are very close. He is 12 years old now and very smart. He always makes us laugh a lot.
You are very lucky to have such a nice family.
