Recently, such an incident occurred in Xiaoshan, Hangzhou: a middle-aged woman went to the hospital alone to give birth and disappeared, and then was found by the police in the rental house, and the police who knew the inside situation came to the rescue, and multiple departments jointly launched help.
The waves of people and the sea are just a wave of water, and there are so many objective facts we have learned. But there is much more to our thinking about—it is "the rich who make money, the poor who give birth to children, at the same time, in this period."
"The Nature of Poverty" says: If they choose to do so knowing that pregnancy is very costly to them, then they are active. It is also mentioned in The Wealth of Nations that having children is not profitable, but that there is freedom to execute them. If we put these two sentences together, taking objective facts as the standard, it seems to be very unfavorable to the mother, and even more unfavorable to the child.
There is a saying in the 21st century that the philosophy of the future must be all rational, except for mathematics, which is an objective standard that transcends reality. And whether this thing is a microcosm of society and then becomes an example of a philosopher analyzing the world. My answer is no.
When you think of China, what is the first picture in your mind? That might serve as some kind of impression of our country. And what impression does this mother in Xiaoshan, Hangzhou, give us? Do you think of the poor first, or do you think of your mother first?
What a third child means for this mother, we don't know, perhaps like a vulgar joke, the poor have nothing to do but choose to have children. It is also like the poverty trap proposed by some social philosophies: the poorer the child, the poorer the child. How did such a cycle begin, and how do such traps be solved? For the poor, who are materially deprived, such a problem is nothing less than a cause for concern, and for the philosopher it is the key to the search for happiness—there is no greater difference between man and man, at the same time, during this period.
Objectively speaking: Mothers need to bear more pressure on the family and need more energy to take care of their children. This is not just a sentence, for the poor, many problems are at the heart of poverty, and even the unavoidable health problems of the rich are the most important. When an external force causes an object to deform, it can sometimes recover, and sometimes it remains that way forever. For the mother's children, the arrival of the third child will inevitably lead to a change in the living conditions of the two children, and what they have previously received will inevitably be reduced or even not reduced. And the third child had to share the living conditions with the first two children from birth, of course, since the ancient mother loved her, he may get a little more, compared to what he could have received. With the same economic conditions, what they could have done is not possible now. The same goes for mothers.
Sensuality: the woman is weak, and the mother is rigid. Think of the bleak picture of you being seriously ill and going to the hospital alone, which probably resonates like this. Yes, she has entered middle age, her body is not as good as before, and as a woman, she is naturally more vulnerable than men. She took the child in her belly to the hospital alone, suffering both physical pain and mental suffering. Perhaps out of fear of future life, or perhaps postpartum mental uncertainty, she chose to disappear. As her third child, he lost the objective material conditions of life and was given the choice of a mother who decided to give birth to him in times of hardship. This choice gave him life, and this choice will build an indelible bond between her and him – it is love! The support and assistance provided by hospitals and police stations and related departments adds a beautiful color in the sense of humanity and love.
Things are over, the problems are left behind, and when one day we get into a similar situation, how do we choose? The father role played by Zhou Xingchi in "Yangtze River No. 7" sends his children to an aristocratic school, which is a love, on the level of rationality and life, is it better to choose an ordinary school? Better for fathers, better for children? Maybe things like love and affection have never been rational... Perhaps only when things really happen in front of us do we understand how helpless and insignificant we are.
