She is a girl. Male children are much preferred in China because male children are the parents’ retirement plan. Male children are expected to care for their parents in old age.
Female children require a dowry from the parents to get them married.
The one child policy means that a sickly girl is not only not a boy but also means there will be no male child.
So this girl is a financial drain and there can be no male heir.
The article says the parents have been caring for their son and would like to try for another child instead of keeping her. China has rescinded their ‘one child’ policy. But again, I thought that nobody paid for healthcare in Communist countries.....that’s why the Left LOVES Communist health care.
Yes, except for two grandparents who won't give up. I pray she recovers quickly.
