23、These summer festivals in New Orleans are few of the hottest happenings the City has to offer for holiday seekers.

Oyster Festival

There’s an old saying that it’s only safe to eat oysters in months ending in ‘R’, which was good advice in the age before refrigeration became a fashion. And that’s exactly why originally the New Orleans Oyster Festival was held in June, to break up the myth as locals never bothered to preserve the creatures with their habit of directly eating the seafood, fresh from the sea. Today, featuring oysters harvested from the Gulf of Mexico, Oyster Fest is a celebration of the world’s favorite food. If you’ve ever wanted to enjoy the legendary oysters at Drago’s where the recipe originated or take a bite out of an oyster the size of a hamburger. Oyster Fest is for you.

When to Co: June 3-4

Essence Festival

New Orleans holds a special place in African-American life and history so it should be no surprise the city hosts a festival celebrating African-American music and culture in the United States. With free admission, Essence Festival, organized by the African-American women’s magazine of the same name, is a combination of tour days of dynamic speeches and a showcase of African-American artists.

When to Co: June 29-July 2

Cajun-Zydeco Festival

Southern Louisiana is home to a variety of rich, unique cultures, and on a weekend in June in New Orleans, one of them— Cajun— is on lull display. The heart of Cajun country is in south-central Louisiana, a strong showcase of Cajun culture, for which the Cajun-Zydeco Festival emerged. On the particular weekend, you get ready to chew down on traditional food like Cajun gumbo at eateries, buy Cajun crafts, and purchase a Cajun T-shirt.

When to Co: June 24-25

Running of the Bulls

Due to its history, the Spanish influence still shows itself in New Orleans. The architectural style of the French Quarter is actually from Spain, and New Orleans’s annual Running of the Bulls is, in part, a nod to the city’s Spanish heritage. Unlike the Spanish festival in Pamplona, the “bulls” in the Fest are not actual bulls but the women of the Big Roller derby team. However they do chase down white-and=red-clothed festival-goers, if infuriated. Therefore behave yourself or be prepared to run tor life.

24、China started to carry out its one-child policy in the 1980s. Only several years ago it began to loosen the strict one-child policy. From 2016, Chinese couples were allowed to have up to two children, while parents from only-child families have been able to have two children since 2013.

On July 20, 2021, to promote the long-term and balanced development of the population , the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council announced the Decision on using best of the family planning policy. According to the document, China will revise the law on population and family planning to make the country’s three-child policy legal, which was introduced on May 31, 2021 to allow all Chinese couples to have a third child.

The Decision contains supporting measures covering the aspects of giving birth, parenting, education, taxation, housing, and women’s rights in employment — to encourage births. While specific measures have yet to be worked out, potential future measures could affect human resources and wage policies of companies in China. They are also likely to unlock market opportunities in areas of day care services, elder care, healthcare, and related issues.

Currently, China does not have a national rule on childcare leave. However, female employees are entitled for 98 days of basic maternity leave (产假) by law as well as extra days granted by the local region. Meanwhile, male employees may enjoy paternity leave (陪产假) at the same time, ranging from seven days to one month, depending on the local rules. Thus, maternity leave and paternity leave policies vary from region to region. The Decision mentions that China will also explore an elderly care leave rule, allowing only-child employees to spend more time to take care of their parents.

The latest relaxing measures can still impact the personal lives of millions of families in China and will have long-term implication on the country’s demographics (人口结构).

B．All couples have been able to have two children since 2013.

C．Three-child policy contributes to China’s population balance.

D．China will tighten one-child policy for some families in China.
