Since ancient times, our country has paid great attention to the idea of passing on the generations, especially the elderly generation, who believe that if there is no man, then their family is equivalent to cutting off their children and grandchildren, and their daughters are equivalent to spilling water.
But in fact, this kind of thinking is not advisable, but in today's era, this kind of thinking still affects many people, including Ma Yinchu, who proposed family planning.
As a well-known economic researcher, Ma Yinchu was already aware of the potential threat to China if the population continued to expand. Therefore, he proposed the famous "family planning" policy and advocated eugenics.
But what is unexpected is that Ma Yinchu himself, who proposed family planning, failed to resist feudal ideas, and married two wives under the arrangement of his parents and conceived eight children.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="43" mr. Ma Yinchu ></h1>
In 1953, China conducted the first census, after this census, people found that the current number of Chinese has reached 600 million people, and the number is still increasing in tens of millions of people every year.
For this data, Ma Yinchu, a famous economist in China, is somewhat worried that if the population base is too large, it will affect the people's economic development and cultural level, and even cause a series of social problems.
At that time, Ma Yinchu was a very patriotic person, because he achieved good results during his study in the United States, and was favored by the majority of scholars.
Later, after returning to China, there were also many warlords who wanted to build relations with him and threw him a lot of fame and fortune temptations, but the patriotic Ma Yinchu did not choose fame and fortune, but turned around and entered Peking University to teach. Ma Yinchu's actions also made him famous in academia, believing that this was a person who was not confused by fame and fortune.
It has to be said that Ma Yinchu was indeed such a person, and during his teaching and teaching at Peking University, he cultivated many outstanding students, and during this period, he also very boldly criticized Chiang Kai-shek's left-leaning policy at that time.
In 1940, when the Japanese invaders sent fighter jets to bomb Chongqing day and night, Ma Yinchu was studying China's wartime economy.
It just so happened that he found that the four major families at that time used their power to seize power and make the country rich, but Chiang Kai-shek ignored all this and made the people unhappy.
So an angry Ma Yinchu publicly delivered a speech in Chongqing criticizing Chiang Kai-shek's wartime economic policies and scolding the people of the four major families, demanding that they replenish all the embezzled money to the frontline fighters.
Ma Yinchu's behavior was dissatisfied by many people, the most typical of which was the people of the four major families, how could they take out the money in their hands? This is not possible.
Ma Yinchu's behavior also directly angered them, and they put Ma Yinchu in a big prison, and this time Mr. Ma Yinchu entered the big prison and was imprisoned for two years.
Finally, in March 1941, Mr. Ma Yinchu was rescued by the joint efforts of students from the Chongqing University Business School and members of the Communist Party. Although Mr. Ma Yinchu was retaliated against by the four major families at that time, this still did not change his original intention, and he continued to criticize the illegal and immoral behavior he saw.

Returning to the theme, Mr. Ma Yinchu, such a patriotic person, after seeing the hidden dangers of population growth, naturally made a series of reaction measures.
In order to be able to obtain substantial evidence of excessive population growth, he traveled all over the country to conduct surveys, which found that the number of Chinese population at that time was growing very rapidly.
In the general area, the average annual population growth rate is about 20% of the previous year, and in remote areas, the average population growth rate is even about 30%. The rapid increase in population was not a good thing for China, which was in ruins at that time.
Therefore, after several deliberations, Ma Yinchu decided to put forward a very bold resolution, and he wrote a "New Population Theory" at that time, in which he boldly put forward the idea of "family planning".
This idea was a challenge to feudal thinking, which had been wanted since ancient times to have more children and more blessings, and family planning was to control the birth rate of the population.
Sure enough, after Ma Yinchu's idea was published, it was opposed by many people, who believed that Ma Yinchu's policy was contrary to human morality, and how could China's thinking for thousands of years be changed because Ma Yinchu alone?
Ma Yinchu also knew this truth, but he did not give up, he still insisted on his own words, and used various methods to empirically prove the policies he said, but his ideas have never been recognized.
It was not until 1982, due to the rapid increase in population, china also had a lot of problems, at this time people re-remembered Ma Yinchu's family planning decision.
He also realized the importance of family planning, so in 1982, Ma Yinchu's family planning policy was set as a basic national policy, when people generally promoted eugenics, let the best quality children stay, and reduced the chance of population growth.
After the implementation of this basic national policy, China's social problems and economic development have been unprecedented changes, after the population is controlled, people can quickly see the improvement of their quality of life, it is at this time, people really recognize the family planning policy proposed by Ma Yinchu.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="41" > two wives and eight children</h1>
People are very impressed with Ma Yinchu, but they are also quite confused about Ma Yinchu himself.
Ma Yinchu was the initiator of family planning, but he himself married two wives and gave birth to eight children, which is completely in line with the phenomenon of people's thinking of having many children and many blessings at that time, but it seriously violates the "family planning" he advocated.
In fact, this is also related to Ma Yinchu's parents, in that era, people paid great attention to heirs, especially the older generation, they basically insisted on wanting a boy to continue their incense, in the eyes of people at that time, as long as they could marry earlier, they could complete the task of succession earlier.
Ma Yinchu's parents thought the same thing, so they arranged a woman for Ma Yinchu to be his daughter-in-law when Ma Yinchu was not yet mature, and gave birth to three women and a man.
Originally, the family would live happily together, but unfortunately the boy died in an accident, which made Ma Yinchu feel bad, so his parents arranged another wife.
Later, this wife bore him two boys and two girls, which means that in Ma Yinchu's life, he had a total of eight children.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="35" > conclusion</h1>
Ma Yinchu himself was deeply influenced by feudal ideas, so he proposed family planning. Perhaps it was precisely because he himself was influenced by such ideas that he wanted people to avoid his footsteps.
Ma Yinchu was a very patriotic man, who made an in-depth study of people's development and finally put forward the policy of family planning.
The family planning policy can be said to have a great impact, and many of the post-90s and post-80s around us are only children, and from here we can also see how far-reaching the impact of the family planning policy is.
However, an era uses a policy, although family planning has brought people welfare, but now in the case of population reduction, the country has also opened up the two-child policy, but in general, these policies are to make the people of our country prosperous and strong, and live a happy and healthy life.
