On paper, The Expendables sounds like every action fan’s dream come true. A movie that assembles the greatest action stars of the ’80s, ’90s, and 2000s—Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, and, yes, Arnold Schwarzenegger—should be nothing short of spectacular.

Jiajia gave birth to our beautiful daughter:
I am writing this negative experience down to leave it behind me, to forget about and to go on, to enjoy the new life with my sweet little daughter. I am also writing it down as a warning for other foreigners, expats and Chinese people who are having a baby in Shanghai or somewhere else in China.

Not when we heard the price, which was a quarter of what foreign hospital charge. Not when we saw the equipment, which was modern.
But once the actual delivery of the baby started, all that went to hell in just three days.
