During the Chinese New Year, Xu Jianguo's home was still bustling.
After years of conditioning and maintenance, the health of these old men and women has become many times stronger than before. Even some hidden injuries left on the battlefield have been healed little by little by Xu Jianguo.
While eating the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone talked about family planning.
It was also because of this that Lin Hongtao and Daya did not continue to have children after having Xiao Hongdou.
Although Xu Jianguo said that the couple did not need to worry and their family could afford the fine, the couple did not want to bring shame to their brother and were also worried that it would affect their work, so they chose to firmly support the country's decision.
At the dinner table, Xu Jianguo also put forward his own ideas. He mainly felt that the regulations in urban and rural areas were different, and that the one-size-fits-all approach was not reasonable. He also pointed out the fundamental reasons that led to the cliff-like decline in fertility rates in future generations, which involved nothing more than time and money.
Some people may say that there are also problems with education, medical care and housing. In fact, in Xu Jianguo's view, these three points ultimately come down to money.
Moreover, in Xu Jianguo’s memory, when family planning was first proposed, many people in charge of publicity told the people that the country would provide for their old age in the future (this is really not false. The author asked many people, and they all knew it. Those who are only children can ask their parents), but what was the result?
You should know that the two generations born in the 1950s and 1960s have an average of at least three children in their families. This will lead to the problem of having too many children to support the family in the future. The so-called state help in retirement means that the younger generations will pay pensions to support the older generations, but don't forget.
Many people born in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s are only children. This means that the pensions paid by the next three generations will have to be enough for one person to support three people to ensure a balance between income and expenditure. What to do if there is an imbalance between income and expenditure? The only option is for the state to provide subsidies.
Therefore, in Xu Jianguo's opinion, the people who proposed and formulated the family planning policy are simply crazy. Even if it is stipulated that each family can have a maximum of two children, it is better than a one-size-fits-all policy!
Why are there such strong conflicts between young and old people in later generations? The most fundamental reason is that the generations born in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s felt unfairly treated, especially those born in the 1980s and 1990s. Graduate job placements and housing subsidies were completely canceled, and all welfare policies were given to those born in the 1950s and 1960s. Then, in the end, they receive pensions from others and look down on them. Square dancing that disturbs others and occupying seats on buses are common.
And because of the family planning policy, whenever a major natural disaster occurs in a country in the future and causes a large number of casualties, there will be a large number of families who have lost their only child. How do you expect these people to survive?
As Xu Jianguo finished speaking, the old men and women at the table fell into deep thought.
Seeing that everyone had listened to his words, Xu Jianguo did not say anything more. In fact, these words should not have been said by him, but he had to mention them because of the short-sightedness of the people who made the rules.
What Xu Jianguo didn't know was that on the third day of the Lunar New Year, the old man called the head of the National Family Planning Office to the West Hall and directly asked him several questions that Xu Jianguo had raised at the dinner table.
The result is naturally self-evident. The head of the Family Planning Office was stumped by the old man's question and stood there in a cold sweat.
As for how the person in charge later left the West Hall, Xu Jianguo didn't know, nor was he interested. He just wanted to know that the old men really listened to what he said.
…
In March, Xu Jianguo had his own highlight moment.
With his outstanding contributions and outstanding leadership in the military industry over the years, as well as his achievements in domestic stepper lithography machines and chips, he was successfully promoted to the rank of lieutenant general and received the highest honor of Longxia Country, the Medal of Defending the Country.
This time, the awarding ceremony was still held in the solemn and dignified red-walled West Hall conference room.
The venue was decorated in a simple yet majestic manner. A huge national emblem hung high on the wall, emitting a sacred light.
All the bigwigs from the central government were present. Witnessed by a group of old men, when Xu Jianguo walked into the conference room with firm and powerful steps, everyone's eyes were focused on him.
At this time, Xu Jianguo stood as tall as a pine tree, wearing a brand new dress, and the star on his epaulettes shone with golden light, which was a symbol of honor and responsibility.
Under the gaze of everyone, the old man slowly walked forward and put the rank of lieutenant general with two gold stars on the tray on Xu Jianguo's shoulder.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but after the epaulettes were replaced, Xu Jianguo suddenly felt a heavy burden on his shoulders and felt that the responsibility he was shouldering had become much heavier.
After the awarding ceremony was completed, Xu Jianguo accepted the Medal of Defending the Country awarded by a group of bigwigs.
The Medal of Defending the Country is in the shape of a golden shield, which symbolizes protection. It seems to be saying that the territory of Longxia Kingdom cannot be violated, and the belief in protecting the country is as solid as a rock, passed down from generation to generation, and will never stop.
The core part of the medal is a shining red star carefully carved from a ruby. Every corner of the red star is sharp and strong, representing that the army of Longxia Kingdom can charge forward with fearless courage and perseverance in the journey of defending the country, no matter what difficulties and obstacles they face, piercing the darkness like a sword and guarding the country's light and peace.
The bright red color is like the boiling blood of the heroes, symbolizing the loyalty of the Longxia soldiers to the country and the people, and their noble spirit of sacrificing everything to defend the country.
Surrounding the red star is a decorative belt composed of ancient cloud patterns.
In the history and culture of Longxia Kingdom, cloud patterns symbolize auspiciousness and lofty ambitions, implying that national peace and prosperity are the lofty pursuits of every guardian, and their struggles are like auspicious clouds, protecting the people of this land.
On the edge of the medal, there are some historical date numbers that are very important for the establishment of the new Longxia Kingdom. These numbers are not simple records, but the echo of history and the inheritance of spirit.
Their existence always reminds every medal recipient that the country's peace was won with the blood and lives of countless ancestors. This honor belongs not only to individuals, but also to the entire country and nation.
