What is the essence of 'raising children for old age'? It's an investment. This is precisely the root cause of misfortune for most children in Chinese families of origin Many people raise children to support themselves in their old age, to pass on their family line and honor their ancestors, and to let their children inherit their dreams and wishes, but they do not consider what their children are thinking. To put it simply, the vast majority of Chinese style parents are selfish, aiming to "recoup" their children's potential rather than for their own good I feel like many people really didn't understand what I was saying. I have clearly calculated the investment cost and payback period for raising children, precisely to tell those who believe that raising children is an investment: if you want to raise children to support yourself in old age, you will definitely lose money in the current socio-economic environment If we can treat children with a consumption mentality and let them come into this world without any survival pressure, then their existence will become the crystallization of love, the inheritance of bloodline, and the expectation for the future. Only such love is not controlled Many people cannot accept accurately summarizing social phenomena in economic terms 😂 On the contrary, this article was not written by Ding Ke. What I agree with more is Musk's concept of childbirth, that those who have the ability to have children should have more children. Only by cultivating a positive attitude towards children can they have their own ideas, which is fair for them
