Dire poverty still prevails throughout the greater china.These poor people depend on the slim produce from the barren land.  They have no access to cash income except for foods that hardly feed themselves. A major cause to this extreme poverty is lack of skills and resources. They would not be prepared for diseases or any other urgency that needs cash. 

Dire poverty exists more in rural area than in the city. An irresistible factor that contributes to extreme poverty is having too many children—an immediate violation of the national Family Planning Program. Rural people are fond of having more children.  They hold a stereotypical belief that the more children they have, the better life they would live in the future.  They never care about the bigger burden they impose on the country and the people around.Never would they think about their incapability to bring up the children normally—provision of basic education,nutritious food, and a good environment for the children to grow with a healthy mindset to love life, people and the world.It would not be so nice when children are affected too much by the miserable and evil sides of life.

I"m completely against having more than one child.  It is simply ridiculous to trust that children are one"s fortune. To be a person of integrity and honesty also means responsibility. The sheer joys of having multiple children turn into concrete liability for their food security, education, and reasonable development.  Parents should not be short-sighted to migrate their own poverty to their chilren"s future.  They are not your fixed asset. They are your investment by the economic perspective, but this investment is not just give birth.  It is a long-term program that needs your input both financially and spiritually.  Neither should be neglected.  If you can only invest love, however tender it might be, it is not enough. You cannot promise your children even a normal life, not to mention a good one. You are adding burden to your communities, and to your country eventually.  So, it is so simple!  For me, it is a crime to have many children but not giving them what they deserve.

What makes me blush now is that one of my mother"s elder brother is exactly one of those ridiculous men.  He was already quite poor, but he gave birth to three children, one after another, in a consecutive four-year period.  He said that he had had enough of life"s miseries, and that he would totally rely on his children.   He is 58 this year, and the eldest son is only eight.  His family is struggling with basic living.  Worse, he is getting old and diseases haunt his small, weak body.  His wife left him three years ago, probably fed up with the hopeless life.  He has to play mother and father and shoulder all responsibilities.  I want to ask him many what-ifs:  What if you had only one child?  What if you did not divorce your wife many years ago?  What if you had not goofed off so much when you were young?  There is no answer.

Today my mother gave me a letter from this man.  It says that he has to do a surgery of his eyes.  The minimal expense is 1,300 yuan.  He feels it hard to ask but there is nobody he could turn to.  Mum felt very sorry.  But how could I be so cold-blooded as to see him suffering? But I still want to ask the same question:  What if you had only one child?  I think I have the right to ask my uncle this question, along with all who are extremely poor but have more than one child!

Nobody replies.更多信息请访问:http://www.24en.com/

Does any of my audience have a good answer.
