In 2020, at the height of the epidemic, a domestic drama about the portrait of urban women, "Thirty Only", brought emotional "seasoning" to many people in home isolation.
The show unfolds from the perspective of three thirty-year-old women, telling the story of the multiple pressures they encountered at the important age node of thirty.
Thirty women have always been a problem of their own anxiety and indifference to the outside world.
Some people face a more rapid urge to marry at home, and some people have difficulty choosing between the workplace and "whether to be born or not". Even some unmarried, childless, and beautiful single women must be kidnapped by words such as "what is the use of making so much money" and "who will give you a pension in the future".
Recently, there was a female Internet celebrity from Shandong who became popular in her 30-year-old life stage and became the focus of public opinion.
Her fire is not because of her internet celebrity status, but because she single-handedly gave birth to mixed triplets and became an unmarried triplet mother.
Li Xueke, 30 years old this year, has worked as a model, participated in variety shows, and accumulated the first bucket of gold by relying on the first generation of micro-businesses.
Now she runs a school, runs a company, and runs a short video, which can be said to be a veritable white rich beauty.
However, her "rich" is not the "second generation" we generally see, she is a down-to-earth step by step struggle.
Li Xueke spent her childhood in the countryside with her grandparents, in her own words, "planting land and breaking corn."
Thanks to the genes of her parents, Li Xueke grew up with a good face and slender body from an early age, growing to 1.69 meters at the age of eleven, and also participated in the selection of local ambassadors.
Because of this selection, Li Xueke began to have a dream called "model" in her heart.
In order to pursue her dreams, she resolutely chose to go to Qingdao Art School to study modeling in high school. During her time at the school, she practiced diligently so that the university could still study in this area.
However, when she took the college entrance examination, she was not in a good state, so her performance in the cultural class was not satisfactory, and she failed to successfully enter the college of her choice.
After that, she found her own model-related jobs and earned her first pot of gold through fashion catwalks.
She worked hard enough to participate in multiple shooting a day, and in 2007 she could earn 10,000 a month, and even 20,000 when shooting more.
Li Xueke saved up the money, set up a modeling school on his own, and had a stable income.
Later, she followed the market in the most popular years of micro-business, sold imported products through the WeChat circle of friends, and had her own professional team in just one and a half years.
Later, she founded a trading company with several partners, and also registered a children's clothing brand with friends, becoming a "rich generation" with unique market acumen and personal ability.
At the age of 30, Li Xueke had a successful career but never started a family, and everyone around her advised her that it was time to get married and have children.
Li Xueke did not think so, perhaps because her parents divorced when she was a child, she has always been unoptimistic about marriage.
"If I get to 30 and I haven't found someone I want to marry, I won't marry, and I can do my own test tubes and have a mixed-race child."
I grew up thinking that mixed races look good, but I didn't want to marry foreigners," she says.
In the end, Li Xueke did indeed do so.
Through a Thai institution, she selected the sperm of a British man, a university teacher, who was 1.84 meters tall and had a very good appearance, which was an excellent object.
After conceiving in October, she gave birth to mixed-race triplets.
She happily recorded this matter on her social accounts, but she did not expect to cause a strong discussion among netizens, some people expressed understanding and approval, some people opposed, and even broke their mouths:
"You can't marry out like this, right?"
"If you have to choose a foreign gene, Chinese men are not worthy of you?"
Statements such as these were numerous, flooding her comments section.
In Maruko's view, there is no absolute right or wrong in this matter.
But one thing Maruko recognizes is that "no matter what the situation a woman is in, she should have the right to realize her dreams."
Finally, we wish her and her three babies happiness and happiness.

The English version of "mestizo":
Generally seeing "mixed-race", people who don't know how to express it will go to the translation software to search directly, and these software will generally give this word: Mixed-blood.
At this time, many people directly copy and paste it, but is it really right to say so?
Let's take a look at Wikipedia's explanation of "Mixed-blood":
The term mixed-blood in the United States is most often employed for individuals of mixedEuropean and Native American ancestry who are not of Hispanic descent.
The term "Mixed-blood" is often used to refer to it.
The meaning is that the term refers specifically to "descendants of European and non-Hispanic Amerindians" and has a historical background, so this statement is impolite.
Correct expression:
When we want to mean "mixed-race" in English, if we determine that their parents or grandparents are from two different races, we can say: biracialchildren.
If you're not sure if you're from two different races, you can say multiracial/mixed-race children.
Expressed as multiracial/mixed-race children, it is broader and that such a statement is safe and non-offensive.

Finally, let's look at other terms about "mixed race":
half-breed, half-caste, half-blood, hybrid
half-breed: Refers specifically to "Amerindian and White Hybrids." (This expression is impolite)
half-caste: Refers specifically to "Eurasian hybrids". (This expression is impolite)
half-blood: There is a meaning of "half-sibling, half-sibling".
The other is the "mixed-race child of American Indians and whites.") (This expression is impolite)
hybrid: Refers to "hybrid animals, hybrid plants", with more emphasis on technology.
Therefore, these words should be used with caution, and others will think that you have malicious intentions and cause misunderstandings.
