<< review queue entry 38713 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> "one's housing" is an odd term, because "housing" means "houses and other buildings where people live, considered collectively" -- one doesn't refer to "one's collective houses and buildings" unless, perhaps, one is the Queen of England :-) One's 房 is one's "house" or "home" rather one's "housing". It's about repayment of mortgage, not payment of rent, according to the following refs ~ http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%88%BF%E5%A5%B4 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_mortgage_slave_(China_mainland) http://baike.baidu.com/view/41339.htm |
