If you can't give your child a happy life after birth, not giving birth is a kind of kindness, which should be the guiding ideology of young couples who don't want to have children.
Recently, a couple in Dazhou abandoned their daughter, who was only a few months old, because they could not afford to raise their children. The little girl is well-behaved and cute, and there is a note in her package, and her biological parents hope that a well-wisher will adopt her. As soon as the news came out, it aroused widespread concern in the society.
In recent years, with the increase in housing prices, education costs and medical costs, more and more young couples have chosen not to have children. Although the state has introduced policies to encourage the birth of second and third children, in the face of high housing prices, education, medical costs and a severe employment situation, young couples are not highly motivated to have children.
In 2023, China's newborn birth rate has fallen below 10 million. A decrease in the birth rate of newborns will lead to an aging population in a few years. Since 2010, China no longer regards family planning as a basic national policy of China, but encourages childbearing.
Remember the early nineties of the last century, when a strict family planning policy was implemented. Despite this, due to China's large population base, there is still a net increase of 70 or 80 million people per year. When I was in high school, our geography textbook clearly stated that China's population policy was: "control the number of population growth and improve the quality of the population." When answering the question, some people omitted "quantity", that is, "controlling population growth and improving the quality of the population". This was judged to be the wrong answer by the geography teacher, who believed that the population always had to grow.
Under the specific historical conditions of the time, the geography teacher was right. But at the moment, the population is experiencing negative growth. In 2023, India's population has surpassed ours and jumped to the first place in the world, while our country has retreated to second place.
Like the Dazhou couple, if they can't give their children a happy life after birth, not giving birth is a kind of kindness. Since you have given birth, you must treat your child well and do your best to provide a good environment for your child's growth.
Under the strong pressure of the Internet**, the abandoned little girl finally returned to her parents. I hope that the whole society will lend a helping hand and provide them with support within their capacity to help them tide over the difficulties!
