In October, 2015, China announced the decision\u00a0of ending the decades-long “One-Child Policy”. The policy was\u00a0introduced\u00a0in 1979, and stayed in the centre of international discussion for\u00a0many years. With the abolition\u00a0of the\u00a0“One-Child Policy”, those Chinese children born in the 80s and 90s are perhaps now the only generation in the entire Chinese civilisation to not have any brothers or sisters.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am one of these children, along with other only children born around that time, we were called the “Loneliest\u00a0Generation”.<\/span><\/p>\n

The population\u00a0of Communist China experienced a rapid growth, from around 540 million in 1949, when it was established, to 940 million in 1976. It caused the Chinese government started\u00a0to concern the risk of overpopulation in the country. Many assumed the One-Child Policy was a product of communist idealism, or a real-life consequence of\u00a0Maoism. However, the policy was actually\u00a0affected\u00a0by the\u00a0international debate\u00a0on a possible overpopulation catastrophe suggested by global\u00a0think tanks like the\u00a0Club of Rome. Song Jian, missile scientist and member\u00a0of the Chinese Academy of Science, got to know influential books of the movement, such as\u00a0The Limits to Growth<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0A Blue Print of Suvival<\/em>, while he was attending a conference in Finland in 1979. With a group of mathematicians, Song\u00a0developed a demographic model that projects China’s population will reach 4 billion by 2080\u00a0– and the turning point started from here, millions of future born babies, including me, were results of this scientific thought. At the time, Song and his team’s demographic findings were taken into consideration by policy makers,\u00a0and pushed the final implementation of the policy in the 1980s.<\/span><\/p>\n

In China, the policy is more known as the “Family Planning Policy”. National propaganda campaign began to promote the idea of\u00a0healthy pregnancy and scientific nurture, as well as late marriage and postponed child-bearing. Different methods for contraception were introduced, including birth control pills, intrauterine device and ligation.\u00a0It radically changed the size of ordinary Chinese families, from having at least\u00a0four to\u00a0five children, to only\u00a0one child, or two children at special circumstances.\u00a0At some degree, it also freed women from their traditional burden of child-bearing, marrying and having kids late allow them to have more time to seek educational and professional opportunities.\u00a0But, as the policy has always been criticised, it causes several controversial social problems, such as force abortion, increased aging of population, and disparity in sex ratio. In a traditional Chinese value, boys are always more favoured than girls, with the pressure of having only one child, some families choose to abort the first child if it is a girl, and wait for a boy to come in later pregnancies. So in most propaganda posters of the One-Child Policy, the child image is normally appeared as a girl,\u00a0attempting to\u00a0change people’s conventional\u00a0mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

The One-Child Policy was originally designed to be a One-Generation Policy. Those 80s and 90s born children were brought up\u00a0in a completely new age compares to their parents and grand-parents. We are the first generation opened up to the westernised and capitalised culture, the first generation entering the digital era. We were growing up with tags of ‘overly spoiled’, ‘extremely selfish’, ‘video games addition’ and a lot other stereotypes. Some of us defended ourselves, pointing out that this generation grew up with\u00a0speedy social changes caused by the\u00a0famous “Chinese Economic Reform” (A national economic reform programme\u00a0commenced in 1979,\u00a0\u00a0aimed at raising rates of foreign investment and growth), and has been facing difficulties during this transformation\u00a0from socialism to consumerism, such\u00a0as increasing tuition fees, competitive job market and\u00a0unaffordable\u00a0housing price.<\/span><\/p>\n

A British friend once asked me about being the only child in the family, “As a kid, when did you realise you are going to be along forever\u00a0and will never have any sibling?”, she\u00a0said.\u00a0I didn’t know how to answer the question. Such realisation never occurred to me when I was little, being the only child\u00a0was a common sense, most of my friends in school are the only ones\u00a0in their families, I naturally thought this\u00a0supposed to be\u00a0the normal family structure. And not as some\u00a0western press overly exaggerated, the loneliest moment\u00a0of my childhood was the time I locked myself out of the flat when both of my parents were at work. I ended up spending the whole afternoon peeking through the living room window, tried\u00a0to watch Japanese\u00a0cartoon from the television that was still on. When I have grown up and got to know some\u00a0other people\u00a0with their\u00a0siblings, I finally\u00a0felt this regret of never knowing what it\u00a0would had\u00a0been\u00a0like to have brothers\u00a0or sisters. But I did have a perfect childhood, all those years of being alone, I got to enjoy literature, film and music without any disturbance. I have wonderful friends that I knew\u00a0from school and we are still as close as sisters.<\/span><\/p>\n

But still, I couldn’t help to feel slightly emotional when knowing the One-Child Policy was officially ended. “We have\u00a0unexpectedly\u00a0become the only ‘One-Child’ generation in the entire Chinese history”, this was a quote trended intensively \u00a0on Chinese social media when the announcement was made. The policy was a double-edged sword that\u00a0has finally resigned from its historical stage. The right and wrong are left to be judged by later generations. As an only child,\u00a025-Year-Old HaiYue told\u00a0The\u00a0Guardian<\/em><\/a>, “I wonder how well we’ll be talked about in 100 years’ time? As a golden generation full of steel, hard work and good character, or as a social experiment that brought only sadness and selfishness?”<\/span><\/p>\n
