Symmetrical Familes
After the war in 1949,China government had to built a new country,they started develpment industry,agriculture and so on,because the war the population was reduced,and also government need more people to build everywhere,and they also told the public ,if the famliy have more people ,the country will be more strong,so every family both more and more children,the population became more and more big.
Until the 70'government found more population became a big problem,huge populatin bring to the country more and more load,so they started to control the population,they had limited amount,one family one child.Although most families follwed the roles, some families they wanted more boys,they think man could do more work than woman, they dont care the government roles and also broken the law as well,just for both boys.
Its a big different from UK,because the differert cultrue ,UK government never force control the population,but UK families became more and more smailler,its because peopel wanted quailty life and they reallies if family have more child they will be more poor.More kids you could afford more load in family,actually its not good for families.
