The Neighbourhood Committee?
What do you know about the neighbourhood committee in a Chinese residential community?
Most Chinese residents are used to the term and functions of their neighbourhood committee，which，as the grass-roots government organization，handles the day-to-day affairs in the community.However，in the newly set?up international communities in the Pudong District of Shanghai，most of the residents are foreign.They are not used to such administrative institute and its functions.When Yandlord Neighbourhood Committee was established in 2002 in Yandlord Garden (one of the international communities)，some foreign residents showed an indifferent and even hostile attitude towards the committee and its work，because some regarded it as a spy working for the government to watch the activities of the residents.Here lies the cultural gap between the Chinese and the foreigners from western countries.
The neighbourhood committee has a certain number of members that can be divided into two types：the formal staff assigned by the government with monthly pay and the resident representatives who，elected by their residents in the community，work as volunteers.The committee holds regular meetings on monthly basis to discuss problems concerning the community and handle them correctly，such as the security of the area，sanitation problem，taking care of elderly people who live alone，and even family planning.As a matter of fact，the neighbourhood committee plays an indispensable role in Chinese social life.?

Is He a Good Neighbour??
You and your family have been living in the same six-family apartment building for eight years.The landlord's family also lives there，and，generally speaking，all the tenants get along fairly well with each other.Recently，however，there was a change in the apartment next to yours.?
A nice，quiet old couple used to live there.The old lady would sometimes bring over some cookies or small cakes she had made，and your mother in return would give them some food or help the old woman with her shopping.Unfortunately，the old lady died last month.Her husband couldn't live alone，so his grandson moved in with him.
The grandson，who is about twenty，has become a problem to your family.The walls of the building are thin and he is noisy.You are used to peace and quiet，but the grandson likes to listen to his radio late at night.Sometimes friends of his visit，and they make a lot of noise.Everyone in your family is bothered by your new neighbor and as a result is becoming more irritated.?
Your mother once politely asked the old man if he was able to sleep well at night，but apparently he didn't get the hint.If he did understand your mother's intention and did speak to his grandson about it，the grandson apparently didn't listen，since things haven't changed any.Everyone in your family agrees that something has to be done，but no one wants to hurt the old man's feelings or cause him any problems.
What do you think should be done??
