Recently, some netizens released a set of before and after comparison pictures, a well-known sculpture located in Hankou Park in Wuhan has changed from a blue family of three to a green family of five, netizens are happy!
It is understood that the name of this sculpture is "Beautiful Future", created by the famous Chinese sculptor Guo Xue, and it has been standing here since 2017, to the effect that the husband and wife only have one child and run towards a better life in the future.
Recently, in accordance with the requirements of the Jiangtan management department, two more children have been added to the left of the mother figure in the sculpture, so that this family, which is running towards a better future, has changed from the original family of three to a family of five.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is in line with our recent three-child policy, and to tell everyone that having three children is the only way to have a better future.
For this change, netizens have discussed a lot, and each expressed their own clever opinions:
- After giving birth to three children, the financial pressure has increased significantly, and I only bought a skateboard, and the eldest played with the second child, and the second child played with the third child.
- It's a bit warm to take one, and it's hard to take three of them, so you should let your grandparents come over and take care of the children together.
- The three children are basically the same height, this is a combined family, a family of five, and you have to take two taxis.
After this matter fermented on the Internet, some netizens soon picked up more similar changes in other fields. For example, on the cover of the textbook "Ethics and the Rule of Law" for the third grade published by the People's Education Publishing House, the original couple took a girl and added a boy in a small cart.
Not only that, sharp-eyed netizens also found more changes: after having a younger brother, father, mother, and sister have never bought new clothes, my sister can't even afford to fly kites, grandparents who practice tai chi in the park have also gone home to see their children, and only the single dog is still walking the dog leisurely.
The reason why a sculpture change can cause such a lively discussion is that it is a microcosm of our lives, reflecting the new family structure advocated by society.
However, this change in family structure has also brought us new challenges, such as the rise of time, economy, energy, and emotional costs, and how many families can afford to increase these costs?
