PANEL A
A bird’s view picture of Shanghai.
PANEL B
It is 5pm. People are streaming out of office buildings. The majority of them are senior citizens. An eighty-year-old man on a bus is in deep conversation with a grey-haired woman next to him.
TEXT BOX 1
MAN
I need to find a better job to support me and my father. I’m so tired but I just can’t quit, for there will be no one there to support me!
TEXT BOX 2
WOMAN
I know what you mean. I only have one daughter and she can barely support her own family so I’ve been in this job for more than 40 years.
TEXT BOX 3
MAN
Times are so different now. I remember those days when you could retire at 65.
OFF-PANEL 1
Something needs to be done. This is out of hand.
PANEL C
Suddenly, the bus pa**** a business building with an opening for five janitors. There is a long line of people waiting to be registered for the interview. The majority of people are having white hair.
TEXT BOX 1
At this, the man and the woman just look at each other and sigh.
GOVERNOR 1
We need real help. Birth rates are extremely low and people are forced to work almost until they die so they can support themselves. And job opportunities are scarce. The economies growth rate is at a negative, this can not continue, I would not allow it.
OFF-PANEL 2
Mrs. Governor. It’s not just us. North and central European countries are having the exact same problems.

WOMAN
What are we gonna do? We can barely support ourselves. Let alone our children, and now there is a drought.
TEXT BOX 2
MAN
I know. I know. The situation is not good. But what more could we do? The raining season was supposed to have come already. Yet it is still dried and we can’t borrow money from the bank because we are already deep in debt. I really don’t know.
OFF-PANEL 1
How could this be happening? It is so unbalanced. Something must be done.
GOVERNOR
We need a real plan of action. This unbalance has gone on for way too long and done wait to much damage. It is time to send an evoke, desperate times call for desperate measures.
ASSISTANT
Excuse me, Sir?
GOVERNOR
Do it!

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
