At that time, family planning was only promoted and advocated. It did not require people to have only one child, but emphasized planning.
In 1964, the State Council established the Family Planning Commission, responsible for family planning publicity, technical guidance, investigation, research, supervision and inspection of family planning work nationwide. Each province, autonomous region, and municipality also established corresponding organizations or designated personnel within their health departments to be responsible for family planning work.
However, in 1968, with the rise of the movement, the State Council Family Planning Commission was abolished and family planning work came to a standstill.
Zhang Qiheng smiled and said, "Tell me about it. We've done some publicity here before, but it wasn't very strong."
Xie Yun smiled and said, "I don't really understand this either, so I'll just share some of my thoughts with you. I've read some newspaper articles and posters, and I think the idea of late marriage and late childbirth is particularly good."
Once we women have children, we tend to be tied down by household chores, leaving us with fewer opportunities to work outside. For example, when I was training for the militia, the female soldiers were all childless. Once they did, they couldn't leave their homes.
In addition, childbirth is harmful to the body, especially for our female members. They have to work in the fields before giving birth, and some of them cannot even take good care of themselves after giving birth, and have to continue working in the fields. Many people suffer from illness and pain as a result, and do not receive good treatment.
In fact, childbirth causes too much harm to women's bodies. That's why I support having fewer children and marrying and having children later in life.
The newspapers previously mentioned that it's recommended that urban men marry at 28 and women at 25, and that rural men marry at 25 and women marry at 23. I think this is a good idea. As people age, their thinking matures. They won't just get married and have children blindly, and then spend their lives in that state.
Zhang Qiheng nodded. "Do you have any suggestions for publicity?" [Poster published in September 1960: "Liberated from tedious housework, wholeheartedly contribute to socialist construction"]
