The phenomenon of "cutting off children and grandchildren" is intensifying!Twenty years later, disaster is coming
In our society,"Cut off children and grandchildren"It was once considered the cruelest curse, because we Chinese have always attached great importance to the issue of inheritance. For example, in the past, many families had no choice but to continue to have children, no matter how many children they had, as long as they did not have boys. Because according to traditional thinking, women are not heirs, so only boys can become heirs to the family, so as not to break the incense.
Although over the years, with the widespread spread of the idea of equality between men and women in China, most people have abandoned the past"Be sure to have a boy"But people have discovered a new problem - more and more young people choose not to marry and not have children, resulting in a sharp decline in the number of newborns in China year by year. The number of newborns is declining year by year.
According to the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, from 2022, the number of newborns in China has declined for 7 consecutive years, and the number of newborns last year was only 9.56 million, a new low since the founding of the country. According to expert estimates, the number of newborns in China will drop to less than 8 million in 2023, a decrease of 1.56 million from the previous year
It can be seen that when more and more young people have no children, it will become a social fact that many families will be cut off from their children. However, we must realize that if this generation has no children, how can there be grandchildren?Therefore, some experts pointed out that according to the development of this trend, in 20 years, childless families will face three cruel realities, please prepare in advance!
The first challenge: there is no one to carry on the lineage.
Many people say that having children is one thing, but in fact, it is just to be comfortable, how can it be the same thing?In any case, it is a very real problem that women are forced to marry when they grow up, and after forming a new family, even if they have the heart to be filial, they simply do not have the energy and financial resources to go back to take care of their parents.
But if there is a son in the family, even if the parents are old and sick, the son is no longer a filial son, and he has to take care of his parents. If a son is filial, he will use all his money to help his parents, which is the biggest difference between having a son and having a daughter.
So, in any case, we recommend that young people with financial conditions have a child, preferably a boy or a girl, so as not to cut off the incense of their ancestors.
The second difficulty: not having children and being easily bullied.
If a person is old and has no children, it is indeed easy to be bullied in life. Especially in some rural areas, it is quite common for some people not only to not sympathize with these families, but to take pleasure in bullying them.
For example, this is the case with a family in my hometown in Guangxi. The old couple had only one daughter when they were young, and they finally got married, and rarely came back when they were older, but they were inexplicably bullied by some of their peers in the village. To put it bluntly, these people just didn't see that the old couple had no one to support, so they dared to be so unscrupulous.
The third challenge: no one gets old.
As people get older, 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 due to illness. According to some data, the number of disabled elderly people in China is about 44 million, and if these elderly people do not have a solid economy** and do not have children to take care of them, their lives will be very miserable.
What's more, older people with children tend to live happier and happier lives, they don't have to live alone in their later years, and their quality of life is higher.
