Are you the only child in your family? Do you want to have more sisters and brothers? On May 31, China introduced a new policy（政策）that allows every family to have up to three children. This was done to fight China’s aging problem. But different children have different views on the policy.
| 12-year-old Zhao Zhihan from Beijing said, “It might be hard to have three children for a family that doesn’t have enough money. Imagine a couple who have to not only raise three children, but also care for four seniors（老人）. They would have to work really hard to support the family. If I lived in a family like this as a child, I would feel worried.” |
| Liu Yifei, a 13-year-old from Taiyuan, Shanxi, is the only child in her home and doesn’t want any brothers or sisters. “I’m very sensitive and I worry that my parents will pay less attention to me if they have another child.” |
| Li Jinyan, a 14-year-old from Lanzhou, Gansu, likes the idea. She already has a younger brother and she wants to have a sister as well. “I’m a girl, so I think a sister would understand me better. And I won’t feel lonely and when I am sad, there’s always someone cheering me up. I often play sports together with my brother. If we could have a new family member, we could make a team! How cool that would be!” |
