White-collar workers walk to work in Shanghai.
SHANGHAI - Daniel Zhou (not his real given name) paused, trying to remember his son's age.
While it might seem shocking to some, his situation is far from unique among members of Shanghai's middle class, many of whom can not easily recall their children's birthdays or grades in school. They simply do not have time to spend with their families.
Zhou, a department director with a media company in Shanghai who asked his Chinese given name not be published, said he does not feel happy, even though he has a 300,000-yuan ($45,000) annual income, a well-decorated downtown apartment and a fancy car.
