• That’s if they don’t catch you.

    My mom told me the first hand account of how women would just get forced abortions.

    Like there are lots of women that was pregnant with their 2nd unapproved child, then the government found out and they’d force you go get an abortion.

    My mom managed to hide me till like month 8 of the pregnancy, then like someone found out but they turned one eye blind and didn’t report it.

    I mean I don’t exactly understand the full story either, its not like mom wrote a diary on it.

    Basically it was a combination of many factors that lead to me surviving.

    There was an issue of jurisdictions, they mostly left it local governments to enforce, mom was from Taishan and she was working in Guangzhou when she had me, and she was supposed to submit a pregnancy test every 3 months and send results back to their hometown. But mom told me she got another woman to take the pregnancy test for her under her name.

    So like, the people working for the Guangzhou government didn’t enforce it as harshly because she wasn’t registered in their Hukou.

    Perhaps a god exists and they intervened? idk, not really that religious…

    I barely lived, and yes there’s a fine, like somewhere in the ¥20000-¥30000 rmb which was a lot in the 2002s.
