Do you know which prophet in our country put forward family planning? That is Ma Yinchu, praised by Soong Ching Ling as "the treasure of the Chinese nation". As the pioneer and promoter of family planning, Ma Yinchu has eight children and two wives, and the second wife is 22 years younger than him. Why?
Juvenile Ma Yinchu
Ma Yinchu, 1882, a native of Zhejiang. He was very clever since he was a child, but his family conditions were average and he lived in poverty. However, this can't stop his pursuit of knowledge, and it is also doomed that Ma Yinchu, who has a great responsibility to Sri Lanka, must first suffer from his heart, work hard on his bones and starve his skin, kept his initial heart and decided to study abroad for further study. After finishing his studies, he resolutely chose to return to his mother's arms and serve his country.
At that time, few people were able to study abroad and chose to return to China after their studies. As soon as Ma Yinchu returned to China, he was concerned by many politicians and groups at that time. And sent an invitation to invite returnees to join their own team. But Ma Yinchu had his own independent thoughts since he was a child, and he didn't want others to interfere with him too much, so he refused their kindness. He chose to be a teacher at Peking University, prepared to change the thinking of future generations with knowledge, and became a leading figure in the economic field several years later.
Foresight, for the long-term development of the country, the liver and brain are everywhere.
Ma Yinchu devoted his life to academic research. At the beginning of the founding of New China, Ma Yinchu was the president of Zhejiang University. He not only devoted his life to literary construction, but also paid close attention to the development of the country at all times. At that time, Ma Yinchu smelled the increasing population due to the development of national economic construction, which may be synonymous with wealth in the eyes of ordinary people, but it was "a hidden bomb" in his eyes.
Excessive population growth will greatly reduce people's average resources. At that time, the old people in Yuan Longping had not developed hybrid rice with a yield of 10,000 Jin per mu, so the increase of population would have a very big hidden danger in food. It is possible that after the population reaches a certain number, people will even have food and clothing.
It is out of this concern that Ma Yinchu quickly made a social survey. According to the survey results, the predecessor of family planning is "fewer children and better children", and each household can only have two children at most, and more children will be fined. The idea was opposed by most people when it first appeared. But through research, this idea is really beneficial to the development of the country, so legislation began. The family planning policy has penetrated into every household, and the number of new students in the country has finally been controlled.
People who don't know the truth about family life have different opinions.
As soon as Ma Yinchu was born, he was persecuted by feudal thoughts. His marriage was arranged by his parents, not by his own choice, so the so-called "words of parents ordering the matchmaker" combined them. As a senior intellectual who returned from studying abroad, Ma Yinchu's wife is a woman from the countryside with limited knowledge but very reasonable. She is a housewife.
In the next few years, she gave birth to three daughters and a son for Ma Yinchu. It's a pity that my son died at birth, which is a great blow to both sides. In the old society, the idea of "son preference" was very serious. If there are no men at home, the wife will be pointed at by outsiders. Because of this, Ma Yinchu's wife asked him to take a concubine, hoping to leave a descendant for Ma's family.
Ma Yinchu's heart has always been on his wife, and he didn't divorce her because there was no man. However, after studying abroad and returning to China, Ma Yinchu spent most of his time on his own research, and the two of them got together less and left more. So the relationship gradually alienated. At this moment, a woman appeared in Ma Yinchu's life. This woman is her daughter's classmate, only 13 years old, 22 years younger than Ma Yinchu. But they got married regardless of secular vision, and Ma Yinchu didn't give birth to two boys and two girls. In this way, the family lived with Mei Mei.
Ma Yinchu has been stubborn since he was a child, and he will express his opinions when he meets anything unfair. Because of this, Ma Yinchu was imprisoned for two years after his book The New Population was published in 1957, and was not rehabilitated until the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party.
Ma Yinchu has published countless papers and articles in his life, but the most famous ones are The New Population Theory, The New Currency Theory and The Collected Works of Ma Yinchu. He has made great contributions to the development of economy, education and population in China. But he has a lot of children under his knee, but he advocates "family planning", which makes the world have many prejudices against him.
Ma Yinchu, as the first person of family planning in China, despised the secular vision and people's prejudice and insisted on implementing this policy. He must have suffered a lot, especially because his works ended up in prison, but his persistence also brought about the rise of the Chinese nation. Here, we should pay tribute to the man who is called a hero, who dares to say and do.
