The “Only Child” Generation
The majority of Chinese families now have only one child since the
one-child policy has been in place for nearly 20 years. By the year 2001,
there was already 240 million “only children”, which is about the
population of the United States. In the next couple decades, the “only
children” generation will become the elite(精英) of our society. No one
knows how much he or she will change the world.
As the only child in the family, he or she received more elaborately(苦
心经营地) attendance, sometimes, even indulgence(放任). Parents
always try hard to fulfill each of his or her requests. Those children, who
are called as “little emperor”, are in the danger of being spoilt, over
pampered and self-centered.
As the center of the families, the kids, without any siblings(兄弟), still
feel lonely, which is the origin of many kinds of psychological
illness. Neither the parents nor the classmates can take place of the role
of brothers and sisters.
Seems the “only children” are still not ready to take their
responsibilities. Some elder “only children” has already graduated from
universities. But they still can’t be independent from their parents. The
“only children” usually require longer period to season the change in their
career, because they were brought up in a more sheltered and more
dependent environment.
