The World of Two

DINK is the abbreviation of 'Double Income, No Kids'. With the gradual diversification of ideology and culture, more and more Chinese people are recognising and accepting this concept. Due to the increasing competition in the society, both Chinese children and adults are facing greater pressure to survive and adults are also facing higher standards of being parents. In these circumstances, many people are giving up on having children and choosing to focus on their own lives and personal fulfilment. However, not having children is often seen as anti-human and immoral in traditional Chinese culture, and the Dink group therefore under the pressure from negative bias and comments. Through interviews with four Dinks of different ages and backgrounds, this documentary explores their reasons for choosing to be Dinks and their solutions to the problems they encounter.
