This is a country which has traditionally had a "one child" policy - do you know how many women alone bear the scars of abortion? Often forced?
Look, I have only lived in the former Soviet Union (Russia)- and spent time in South Korea also. Traumas can linger for generations. Especially when they go un-addressed. And these places BRIMM with post traumatic stress: from war, from political abuse, etc...it's not just poverty.
Traumas last several generations. I saw that in the southeastern USA during the 1960’s over the Civil War of the 1860’s.
