I stand severely corrected! It seems that no society, not the great American one, none of the Islamic ones, and not China’s can accommodate the fact that humans like to breed at an “Economically Inconvenient” age – So change the economics and let life happen! What is the age where breeding produces the healthiest, most intelligent children – allow it at that point, control it and prevent it at all other times – vasectomies, the least offensive, abortion the most abhorrent, but do something to get the best out of the human stock and prevent the worst from even being born! Invent a sterility pill, one for men, one for women! Force people outside the healthy breeding age range, and those with deformities, weaknesses and mental illnesses to take the pill! Open large hospitals, for storing weaker folk, and clean then out annually, worst, first! Re-stalk them from the general population annually too! Mandate sterilization of all prisoners, male and female alike! They have obvious genetic disorders that detract from a successful society, get rid of them! Hitler cleaned up Europe in his tirade, and Europe has never had it so good! His effect will last generations! America is long over-due for a massive genetic cleansing! China needs the same! Wanton females that do not know their place in the world should beg for sterilization and a life of servitude, over, out and out extinction! The life of the girl in this article is deplorable! She never should have been born! Her society did nothing to prevent such sorrow, and is now held accountable here. Had her parents been sterilized due to their extreme poverty, the unfortunate sadness she endures would never have happened! Where were the “Responsibles” of government when she needed them!

I think having no new clothes is far less important than having access to education and health care services.

In China is developing rapidly, although saw some achievements, but there are still many people are poor. There are many children have no new clothes, do not have enough to eat.

I think what many people are not realizing or forget to keep in mind is that this post from I Am A Peasant Girl is one written in anger and self-pity. It’s more like a snapshot of her emotion in one moment. Namely her lowest moment. Sometimes all it takes to get over the self pity party is just ranting/venting and having someone listen.

I really empathize with her story though. I understand the feeling of responsibility and the desire to provide for one’s family. I’ve lived poor in my younger years but it doesn’t compare to her circumstances. Seriously my heart goes out to her and everyone in China’s countryside.

As an aside note, hearing about the costs for everything in China along with the wages earned really invoke anger within me. Really the costs for everything in any country or nation seem so out of proportion with the wages people earn. The whole distribution of wealth here seems like a great big injustice to those suffering.

I can’t believe some of you guys replies. People who scold this girl should be beaten long and hard with a spiked baton. I have lived a life in luxury compared to people like her but if I had experienced what she had I would do anything to survive,, just hopefully not anything illegal. China should change radically towards a more socialist way of thinking within 5 years,, this raging capitalism is making rich people way too rich and the rest caught up in a hopeless undignified way of “living”. Raise the goddamn tax rates on incomes above 4-5000 yuan. Let people who earn more than 10.000 yuan a month pay 30 percent tax, get a logical business tax going. In some countries people pay very high taxes and feel good about it coz we know that the money will be spent to help our poorer countrymen, supply free healthcare and education and a lot of other things that is good for the people and the country. Who wants to see money like that going into corrupt officials pockets? or businessmen who already are making millions of yuan every year? Wake up China,, limitless capitalism is not the way to go.
