The Chinese people's view on fertility has experienced extremes of ice and fire in just over forty years.
Since the implementation of family planning in 1978, people at that time were trying every means to secretly give birth, hide births, and hide having a second child. The long-term priority of the women’s team leader was to lead a group of people to catch pregnant women for abortions. Some pregnant women would do so in the middle of the night. She ran away, took off her shoes, and then hid in the dark at a relative's house in the mountains to give birth to the child. If you can't catch anyone, you'll tear down the house and seize the tiles. Then if you don't have money to pay the fine, you'll take away the only furniture in the house and the pigs, cattle and sheep in the pen!
Don’t ask me how I know, because when my mother was pregnant with me, because of the 3-month age difference, I was already in my mother’s belly for more than eight months and was caught by the family planning office on the abortion operating table. , just about to get the injection, the doctor said that he would do the surgery in the afternoon after get off work at noon.
Thank you to this doctor for not killing me! Hahaha
So, my mother took advantage of the crowded market at noon in the county town, excused herself to go to the toilet, and ran away from the crowd in the garden. Then she walked dozens of miles of mountain road alone with a big belly, and ran to my aunt's house in the mountains. I was born into a pitiful place. Due to long-term malnutrition and fear, I weighed just over three pounds when I was born. My mother said I was as skinny as a little rabbit! It almost died. If there weren’t so many coincidences at that time, you wouldn’t be able to see this micro headline article I wrote today.
Forty years have passed, and the entire Chinese people’s view on fertility has gradually changed from one extreme to the other. Today’s young people say to me: Do you want me to have a second child? Haha, I don’t even want to get married. I only want to fall in love, not get married, be free, relaxed, without the trivialities of life. When I get rich, I want to travel, be quiet, and be free. Isn’t he nice?
Therefore, the important task of having a second child fell on us, the post-7080 generation who were almost aborted back then. We mustered up the courage to have a second child. We endured the greatest hardship of raising children in this era, and also enjoyed the joy of having a child. All the joys of having a second child.
From the overall perspective of national inheritance, a stable and reasonable population birth rate and healthy replacement are crucial to the inheritance of a national civilization.
So, children born in the 1990s and 2000s, the motherland needs you, so hurry up and have babies! [yeah]
