Perspectives by different people

This story is a fictional point of view which was made up from non-fictional facts.

Nihao, my name is Lee Wang and I live in a small farming village in China. The other day, the wife of one of our neighbors got pregnant. They were having problem because she was having a hard time getting pregnant, but at last they got a beloved child to be born soon. They will be going to a hospital in a big city soon to check the gender of the baby. Here in China, the government decided to have a “one child policy” to prevent overpopulation. Because of that, we farmers need that one child to be a boy, in order to inherit the farm. So we check the gender of the baby and if it’s a girl, we abort the baby. Even though everyone in our village does this, I personally don’t like this idea. I feel sorry for the baby and babies should have their rights to live just as we do. I hope that when I give birth to a baby, this habit in our village will not exist.
