我们不只是来洗澡，来这里可以见老朋友，包括澡堂擦背工。
我在北京环卫局工作，我的妻子还在纺织总厂里工作。
我们的退休工资足够我们的生活。我有两个女儿。大女儿在一家外企工作每月有4000元收入。小女儿在京西学校做游泳教练。她每小时挣1000元。他们俩都有车有房。我的家庭现在是两个阶级。我的女儿们是中产阶级。他们为邪恶的外国资本主义干活。
我和我妻子是无产阶级。在我二女儿六岁的时候我把她送去游泳学校，在那里可以有免费的运动外套，巧克力，和奶酪。我就是觉得一个女运动员会有一个好的前途。后来她被选中到了北京青少年游泳队。并且政府给了很多的补助金。

我很怀念毛主席时代。那个年代人们过着朴素而真诚的生活。现在变了很多。所有人想的只是钱。甚至连医生和警察也不能指望了。
我常来这个公共浴室洗澡，以前公共浴室很常见。现在人们都在自己的房子里装了浴室。只有老年人还去公共浴室洗澡。现在这里洗澡依然很便宜，我们也习惯于这样。总之，我们不是为了洗澡而来洗澡。来这里可以见老朋友，包括澡堂擦背工。

I worked in the Beijing Bureau of Environmental Sanitation, and my wife is still working at the General Knitting Mill.
My retirement pay is enough for me to live off. I have two daughters. The elder works for a foreign company and earns 4,000 yuan [US$500] a month.
The younger is a coach at Jingxi school, teaching foreign children to swim. She earns 1,000 yuan [US$125] an hour.
They both own a house and a car. My family is now in two parts. My daughters are bourgeois. They work for í?the party of foreign devils.í?
My wife and I are the proletariat. When she was only six I sent my second daughter to a swimming school where she could get sports dresses, chocolate and cheese for free. Also I thought a sportswoman would probably have a bright future. Later she was selected for the Beijing Juvenile Swimming Team and had a generous stipend from the government.
I miss the [former Chairman] Mao Zedong era badly. People of that time lived a simple life and were more sincere with each other. Now things are quite different. All everybody thinks of is money. Even doctors and policemen are no exception.
I often take baths in this public bathhouse. Public bathhouses used to be very common, but now everyone has spacious apartments with bathrooms.
Only the elderly still come to public bathhouses. But ití»s still very cheap and we are used to it. Anyway we doní»t just come for a bath.
I come to meet old friends, including the workers who rub customersí» backs.
