Population

I have a big family; my grandparents have four kids, three females and one male. For my parents, they only have me and I don’t have any sister and brother. I real want have sister and brother because I felt lonely when I was young. If I have chance to have my kid, I real want to have at least two kids. The gender is also considered in my mind. Recently people always say that man and woman is equal and has same status, but this mind is very hard to achieve in Chinese’s social reality. We all know that china has a long time history, until now some of the thinking from the old society still have strong power leave in Chinese people’s mind. In the old fashion, men and women are not equal; men are more significant than women. In ancient china, have a son is very important in the family meanwhile if the parents have a son, they will have a big celebration for it. I think this traditional mind affect my view, I like my kids whatever the gender but I real want a son. If I have both son and daughter, it is ok; but if only daughter, I will feel failure. I know it is wrong idea meanwhile it is little look down on female, but it is my real thinking. If I have my kids, I will try my best to let them become real equal to everyone.

China is a big country and the population is the largest in the world. The space and the water is effect people in china have quality of life. In china, because of the huge population, there are more and more people come to big city to make the city more and more crowded. It is very hard to have a good life if you see lots of people around you. It is not convent and it also makes the room rate higher than before. By this reason, lots of people live in urban sprawl to save their money. It makes city become larger and also allured much more people to come in. it’s like a bad circle and make the population higher than before. The second reason is the water. China is a lack of water and it makes population which is live in countryside become poverty. No grain and not minimum needed for survival make them hard to live. For product more food, the family in village should have more kids for support their family. It makes them deeply come to poverty.

In Beijing, the rural areas and urban areas is little different because in Beijing the average of people’s life is better than other place in china. I am not worried about population problems effect Beijing citizen’s quality of life.
