阿丽的烦恼 (Worries of A Li), 1964

丽的烦恼 (Worries of A Li), Family Planning Committee of Guangdong Province and the Health Education Office of the Department of Guangdong Province, Ma Dong (马栋), February 1964

Although A Li was a smart and diligent woman, she was burdened with the care of six children after 9 years of marriage. She cooked for them, washed their clothes, and cared for the sick—she was so exhausted with housework that she could not function well at work. She realized that she made two mistakes: 1) she married early at 18, and 2) she had no birth control. She and her husband realized that to have a better family life, they should have no more children.
