Amy Tan sinh ngày 19 tháng 2 năm 1952 tại Oakland, California. Tan lớn lên ở Bắc California, nhưng khi cả cha và anh trai cô đều chết vì khối u não vào năm 1966, cô cùng mẹ và em trai đến châu Âu, nơi cô học trung học ở Montreux, Thụy Sĩ. Cô trở về Hoa Kỳ để học đại học. Sau khi học đại học, Tan làm tư vấn phát triển ngôn ngữ và là một nhà văn tự do của công ty. Năm 1985, cô đã viết câu chuyện "Luật chơi" cho một hội thảo viết, đặt nền móng ban đầu cho cuốn tiểu thuyết đầu tiên của cô The Joy Luck Club. Xuất bản năm 1989, cuốn sách đã khám phá mối quan hệ giữa phụ nữ Trung Quốc và các cô con gái người Mỹ gốc Hoa của họ, và trở thành cuốn sách bán chạy nhất của tờ New York Times trong năm đó. Câu lạc bộ Joy Luck đã nhận được nhiều giải thưởng, bao gồm Giải thưởng Sách Thời báo Los Angeles. Nó đã được dịch sang 25 ngôn ngữ, bao gồm cả tiếng Trung Quốc, và được dựng thành một bức tranh chuyển động lớn mà Tan đồng sáng tác kịch bản.

Vietnam’s population is ageing quickly. In 2017, more than 10 per cent of the population will be 60 and older, and in 15-20 years the elderly will account for one third of the total population. This raises concerns about healthcare, welfare and pensions for the elderly at a time when Vietnam is focusing on economic integration and requires a large labor force. So far two solutions have been proposed: to loosen the two-child policy and to increase the retirement age to 58 for women and 62 for men. By ending the two-child policy the government expects to make up for the ageing population within the next 20 years. But its effect could be creating an uncontrollable boom in the Vietnamese population. When the government loosened the two-child policy in 2015 in a trial period, in the first 6 months of 2016 the third child birth rate increased remarkably by 7.5 per cent
Raising the retirement age has been proposed by the Ministry of Labor pending parliamentary evaluation in May 2017. While the policy is beneficial in utilizing the work experience of the elderly while creating savings in the pension budget, it also means fewer job prospects and promotion opportunities for younger generations. It is also not in the interest of all the elderly, especially the 70 per cent of Vietnam's labor force working in manual labor-intensive sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing and construction where working above the age of 50 can be dangerous and unproductive. Despite these drawbacks, raising the retirement age is still considered by policymakers as one of the key solutions to the ageing population problem in Vietnam. However, these are only temporary solutions.

Have you ever entered a tropical rainforest? It's a special, dark place completely different from anywhere else. A rainforest is a place where the trees grow very tall. Millions of kinds of animals, insects, and plants live in the rainforest. It is hot and humid in a rainforest. It rains a lot in the rainforest, but sometimes you don‘t know it's raining. The trees grow so closely together that rain doesn't always reach the ground.
Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth's surface, about six percent. They are found in tropical parts of the world. The largest rainforest in the world is the Amazon in South America. The Amazon covers 1.2 billion acres, or almost five million square kilometers. The second largest rainforest is in Western Africa. There are also rainforests in Central America, Southeast Asia, Northeastern Australia, and the Pacific Islands.
Rainforests provide us with many things. In fact, the Amazon Rainforest is called the “lungs of our planet” because it produces twenty percent of the world's oxygen. One fifth of the world's fresh water is also found in the Amazon Rainforest. Furthermore, one half of the world's species of animals, plants, and insects live in the Earth's rainforests. Eighty percent of the food we eat first grew in the rainforest. For example, pineapples, bananas, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, chocolate, coffee, and sugar all came from rainforests. Twenty-five percent of the drugs we take when we are sick are made of plants that grow only in rainforests. Some of these drugs are even used to fight and cure cancer. With all the good things we get from rainforests, it’s surprising to find that we are destroying our rainforests. In fact, 1.5 acres, or 6,000 square meters, of rainforest disappear every second. The forests are being cut down to make fields for cows, to harvest the plants, and to clear land for farms. Along with losing countless valuable species, the destruction of rainforests creates many problems worldwide. Destruction of rainforests results in more pollution, less rain, and less oxygen for the world.
