one-child policy is also called "family planning" in China,but i think "one-child policy" is more straightforward.
However, it is multi-reason for this unique phenomenon.you has told some which i did agree. And it is also positive in relieving the energy resource shortage.
On another hand,the policy is not only emphasize "one child",but also advocating delayed marriage and delayed child bearing, fewer and healthier births.
Someone consider it as depriving human-right.To some extent, yes. Years ago, My stepgrandmother had to,or say,was forced to,accept artificial abortion when she had been pregnant for 7or8 monthes. Cos grandfather have 4 children (and 3 of them were adults) already. Stepgrandmother never has her own child in her life. Consequently, enmity have been existed in her heart all these years. I could understand why she treats me so badly these years. It's a tragedy to a woman,it's also a suffering to the family.
It might be inappropriate to tell private story here. if so.I would like to delete it later.
I am the only child of my parents. Sometimes I feel guilty to leave them so faraway and so longtime. There are large number of young people who could only go back home for a week once a year.
A deeper trouble might be the old generation's psychologic problem.Sorry, I would like to talk about it another day.it's 1:10am deep night.
