Dong Mingzhu, the National People's Congress and president of GREE, said she would like to see more women join the workforce, but added that women who stay at home to take care of their families also contribute to society.
We all should be proud of living in an age where women are encouraged to leave home and choose their careers. With entrepreneurial atmosphere and spirit of innovation all around, everyone can find the role that suits them best, said Dong Mingzhu.

After giving birth, my wife quite her job, although she was good in it, and tried to do housework but wasn't able to handle it. So I left my job and started taking care of the house.

It's a couple's common duty to protect the marrige and manage the family. We don't have to specify who should do what.
Of course, every family has its own way of living; lifestyles cannot be cloned.
