In today's society, an unfamiliar and familiar word has regained our attention - "extinction". There are two interpretations of this term, the first refers to families without descendants and the second refers to families without heirs. In the past, we often associated the value of a family with the presence or absence of a son, believing that only a family with a son can truly pass on the bloodline. Today, however, we seem more inclined to accept the first explanation, as younger generations seem less and less willing to have children.
According to the 2020 China Statistical Yearbook, there are 494.16 million households in the country, of which more than 125 million are "one-person households", accounting for more than 25%. This means that in that year, one in every four households was a "one-person household". So, who exactly does a "one-person household" include? Some sociologists believe that some of them are elderly people living alone, while others are young people who are single.
The reasons why older people live alone are relatively easy to understand, but why are young people willing to make their families "extinction" and give up the expectations of their parents? One of the key reasons is that life is becoming more and more stressful, making money is becoming more and more difficult, and people's desires are gradually decreasing. Low desires eventually lead to families that cannot be passed on, and many young people seem destined to die alone.
In this context, there is a case that makes people think deeply. A young man in his thirties, neither married nor childless, and even his parents have died. He wanders alone and loses the concept of home, like a floating duckweed. There may be more and more of this "duckweed"-like person, and once a certain idea is ingrained, it is difficult to change.
For the parents of the post-60s and post-70s, they may lose the opportunity to pass on their bloodline. They have worked hard all their lives to keep their children alive, but more and more families are now in a situation of sparse people.
But not all "extincted" families are accidental. There are profound reasons for this phenomenon, especially in rural and urban households. In rural areas, families should have a desire to reproduce, but as young people migrate to cities, they may be influenced by the urban way of life, abandoning traditional ideas and focusing more on personal well-being. Because of the pressure of urban life, many young people work hard under the 996 work system, but can only make a basic living. They could not afford the financial expenses of traditional families such as houses and cars, so they gave up the idea of passing on their families.
The situation for urban families is also complicated. Despite the appearance of being rich and powerful, in reality, many urban households are saddled with huge debts. This situation makes many young people reluctant to bear the burden of the family, to become house slaves, car slaves, child slaves and domestic slaves, and they prefer to pursue personal freedom and happiness.
The emergence of the "one-person household" phenomenon did not happen overnight, but was the result of a combination of factors. The emergence of this phenomenon is worth pondering, because it reflects changes in society and the change in the perception of the younger generation. If these issues are not addressed, we will continue to see the decline of the family, and the redefinition of social relationships.
In short, social development and people's values are constantly changing, which has led to the emergence of the phenomenon of "extinction". The root causes of this phenomenon include economic pressures, personal desires, urbanization, and changing attitudes. We should think deeply about the reasons behind this phenomenon and how to deal with and solve them. Only in this way can we build a more stable and happy family and continue to pass on the family bloodline.
