THE CLIENTELE OF the Le Amor retirement home in the Fragrant Hills of western Beijing are noordinary folk. Staff boast that one of them taught President Hu Jintao when he was atuniversity. Another is the descendant of a nutritionist who worked for the Empress DowagerCixi, Chinas last great imperial ruler. A third is a former senior official in the partys top anti-corruption body. By the grim standards of such homes in China, it seems they are beingtreated well. If they wish, they can rent a suite of rooms, including one for a live-in servant. Allrooms have an emergency button.
住在北京西郊香山Le Amor退休公寓里的住户都不是平民百姓。那里的员工自夸退休公寓里的其中一位住户曾经是胡锦涛在大学里的老师。还有一个住户是以前为中国最后一个重量级的帝国统治者慈禧太后掌厨的御厨的后代。另外,三分之一的共产党最高纪委机构的前高级官员们。从中国的此类住宅的严格规格来看,这些退休干部似乎养尊处优。如果他们想要的话,他们可以租上一套房间,包括一间让寄宿保姆住下的房间。所有房间中都有一个紧急按钮。
The homes director is coy about how she secured such a desirable rural location for her$10m venture, +away from the citys downtown smog. Le Amor is one of only a handful ofprivately run retirement homes in the capital aimed at the well-to-do. Looking after the elderly isa business in its infancy in China, where that task usually falls to the offspring, if any. But LeAmors market has very attractive prospects.
