FSC [QT] Chapter 133.1

“What a miracle! In such a serious car accident, the baby in her belly is actually safe and sound.”

“Who says it’s not? But it’s also quite tragic. I heard that the man in the driver’s seat was almost smashed into a pulp. He was dead when he was sent for rescue. His bones were broken all over his body and his internal organs were almost ruptured.”

Ah Wu felt a tearing pain all over her body, especially in her legs, which were almost numb from the pain.

“Luckily, the baby is fine. I just don’t know how the patient in the bed will feel after waking up and knowing that her husband has passed away. I’m afraid that she will be too emotional and it will be difficult to save the baby. At her age, she is considered an elderly mother, and it is difficult to save the fetus.”

“Yes, the couple must have a good relationship. I followed the ambulance. You didn’t see the scene of the car accident. The person who collided with them was a road novice. He accidentally drove the wrong way. In order to avoid a long detour, he actually drove in the opposite direction. When the car accident happened, the man in the driving seat turned the steering wheel directly, turning the impact point to his own driving seat. The entire front of the car was flattened, so he was the most seriously injured.”

Anyone who can drive knows that the co-pilot seat is the most dangerous because, in a crisis situation, people will react by making a response that is beneficial to themselves, such as turning the steering wheel suddenly to make the impact position become the co-pilot on the other side.

According to that person, the man who was driving at that time exposed himself to the most dangerous environment in order to protect the safety of his wife in the co-pilot seat.

It could be said that he had already regarded the safety of his wife’s life as more important than his own life.

Such a couple must have deep affection.

If the wife wakes up and finds out that her husband has died after failed rescue efforts, it is easy for her to trigger fetal movement due to her overly excited emotions.

“There are still good men in this world, but it’s a pity that I haven’t met one. If the man in my family is willing to do this for me, as long as he is alive, I will worship him as an ancestor in my next life.”

In the ward, several nurses were changing the infusion bottles for the female patient on the bed and whispering.

“Do you think the patient will keep the baby after she wakes up? I think the patient is not young anymore. It is not easy to keep the baby at this age. Moreover, she has already given birth to a daughter. The girl looks about the same age as us. She can become a grandmother in a few years.”

The young nurse recorded the data on the detector and couldn’t help asking.

Although the country has opened up the second child policy, the conflicts caused by having a second child are not small, especially when the age difference between the first child and the second child is big. The opposition of the first child is particularly high.

Yes, the previous child is already in his/her early twenties, but now there is a younger brother or sister who can almost be his/her own son or daughter.

Not to mention whether his/her parents will put the pressure of raising the younger brother or sister on him/her when his/her parents get older.

Let’s talk about the most realistic problem. How many young people can buy a house without relying on their parents these days?

The birth of a younger brother or sister means that their own property will be reduced and their direct interests will be affected.

How many people can accept it calmly?

It was normal for the young nurse to have this question, but she felt that it was a pity. After all, the baby was saved by a miracle, and from a certain perspective, the baby’s existence was also exchanged for the baby’s father’s life.

If she were the person involved, she might not have the heart to abort the baby.

“The patient doesn’t seem to be particularly old, right?”

Another older nurse frowned and said, “She seems to be about 38 or 39 years old. Nowadays, people marry and have children late, and it’s not uncommon for people to have their first child at this age.”

“That’s impossible. Her daughter looks about the same age as me. I heard she’s still in college. It doesn’t make sense that her mother is less than 40 years old this year, right?”

Another young nurse exclaimed and then turned her head to look at the unconscious female patient on the bed. It seemed that, as the other nurse said, she was not particularly old.

It was just that at the beginning she always thought that the other party was well-maintained and didn’t think about the fact that her real age was not as old as she imagined.

“Could it be a stepdaughter?”

The young nurse couldn’t help gossiping.

But that didn’t make sense. If it was a stepdaughter, why would the girl be so caring and considerate to the patient on the bed during this period?

Wasn’t it said that stepdaughters and stepmothers were natural enemies?

Family Planning in China (Part 1)

China’s family planning policy has evolved over the years, from the one-child policy to the three-child policy. The policy’s goal is to balance population growth with the country’s economic and social development.

 

One-child Policy

Starting in 1979, given the overpopulation crisis at the time, China’s new paramount leader Deng Xiaoping, together with other senior leaders, including elder Chen Yun, Premier Zhao Ziyang, and President Li Xiannian, began to promote the so-called one-child policy in mainland China. In the late spring of 1979, Chen became the first leader to propose the one-child policy.

The one-child policy had various exemptions, including twins, rural families who could have more children due to the necessities of farm work, and ethnic minorities. The strict limitation of one child applied to approximately 35% of China’s population.

After nearly four decades of harsh enforcement, the one-child policy brought profound social and economic consequences that included a national gender imbalance due to the preference of male children over females, an aging population, and a shrinking workforce.
