"Cutting off children and grandchildren" was once regarded as the most vicious curse in our society, because we Chinese have always attached great importance to the issue of inheritance. For example, in the past, no matter how many children many families had, as long as no boy was born, then they would continue to give birth without hesitation. Because in traditional thinking, women are not heirs, so only by giving birth to a boy can the family have a successor and not cut off the incense.
Although it is said that with the wide spread of the idea of equality between men and women in our country in recent years, most people have given up the obsession of "having a boy" in the past, but people have found that a new problem has arisen now-More and more young people choose not to marry and have children, resulting in a significant decline in the number of newborns in China year by year.
According to the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, as of 2022, the number of newborns in China has declined for 7 consecutive years, of which the number of newborns last year was only 9.56 million, which is a new low since the founding of the People's Republic of China. And according to expert estimates, in 2023, the number of newborns in China will fall below 8 million, which will be 1.56 million fewer than the previous year!
It can be seen that when more and more young people do not have children, it will become a social fact that many families will "cut off their children and grandchildren". But you have to know that if this generation has no sons, then where will the grandchildren come from?For this reason, some experts pointed out that according to this trend, in 20 years, for a family without a son, there will be three cruel realities, please prepare in advance!
Many people say that having children and daughters are the same, but in fact, this is all to comfort themselves, how can this thing be the same?No matter what, women must marry when they grow up, and after they form a new family, even if they have filial piety, they do not have the energy and financial resources to come back to take care of their parents, which is a very real problem.
But if there is a son in the family, then even if the parents are old and sick, no matter how unfilial the son is, he must come forward to take care of it. If the son is filial, the bankrupt family will also solve the difficulties and worries of the parents, which is the biggest difference between having children and daughters.
Therefore, in any case, we recommend that young people with financial ability have a child, preferably as a man or as a woman, so as not to cut off the incense of their ancestors.
If a person is old and has no children, it is actually easy to be bullied in life. Especially in some rural areas, it is more common for some people to not only have no sympathy, but also like to bully such families.
For example, a family in my hometown in Guangxi is like this, when they were young, the old couple only gave birth to a daughter, and finally the daughter got married, and they rarely came back when they were old, but they were usually bullied by some peers in the village with inexplicable excuses. To put it bluntly, those people didn't dare to be so presumptuous when they saw that the two old men had no one to support them.
When people get old, the function of their organs begins to decline, and it is inevitable that they will suffer from some diseases, and some elderly people even lose their ability to live because of diseases. Data show that the number of disabled elderly people in China is about 44 million, and these elderly people will be very miserable if they do not have a strong economy and no children to take care of.
Moreover, the elderly who have offspring often have a lot more fun and happiness in life, so that they will not be lonely and lonely in their later years, and the quality of life will be higher.
