The one-child policy
Chinese parents can have only one child, it called the ”one-child policy” in China. The policy started in 1979 and it stopped around 400 million births.
Traditionally, Chinese families prefer boys. If a girl was born to some Chinese families, they left her (where did they leave her?) and tried again for a boy. That makes me disappointed (sad / upset?). Luckily, my father and mother are very fond of me, although I'm just a girl.
All this, however, may soon change. The Chinese government is planning to let people there have two children. That’s a good news.
Very Good :D
