Photo journal: First-time homebuyers in Beijing

"Now I live with my husband, his father and stepmother. Our bedroom is 7 square metres with a double bed and no place for anything else.

My husband’s father was alone as his mother passed away. But now he's got married again. He’s 72, a retired college teacher, and his new wife was a teacher too.

They always cook dinner for me and my husband because every day we arrive home late.

But it’s not like living with your own parents, it’s not like you can say everything you want."
