Have fewer children and plant more trees. What’s the next sentence?

Have fewer children and plant more trees; raise fewer children and more pigs.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to the improvement of people's living standards and the improvement of medical and health conditions, the population mortality rate dropped significantly and China's population grew rapidly. According to the results of the sixth national census in 2010, China's total population is 1.37 billion, accounting for approximately 1/5 of the world's total population, and is the most populous country in the world.

After passing the peak period, the total population will show a downward trend, and the contradiction between population and economy, society, resources, and environment will still be very prominent. Therefore, implementing family planning, controlling the quantity of the population, and improving the quality of the population is a long-term basic national policy of our country. "Have fewer children and plant more trees; raise fewer children and more pigs." is a vivid slogan of family planning.

If you want to be rich, build roads first, have fewer children and plant more trees

This used to be a slogan, but with the development of the times, some are no longer suitable, so we will separate it below Let’s interpret these two sentences.

1. If you want to be rich, build roads first. People who have lived in rural areas are helpless about the roads in rural areas in the past. In terms of crops, what farmers worry about most is that they cannot sell them. The roads are too muddy and cars from outside cannot get in and cars from inside cannot get out. In the past, after the crops were harvested, they could only digest them themselves or sell them to nearby villages, but everyone was growing them, so the economic benefits could not be improved at all.

One of the most important reasons is that the roads are not good. Therefore, roads are very important to rural areas and farmers. If you want to be rich, it makes sense to build roads first, and this principle will not be outdated from ancient times to modern times, and even into the future.

2. Have fewer children and more trees. In the past, in rural areas, every household had several children, and they would continue to have more children. A family with five boys and two girls was simply a gift from God. Many people gave birth to many children, but their families were extremely poor. Money is needed to raise children, money is needed for children to go to school, and money is needed for children to grow up. These all need to be earned, so having more children will indeed bring poverty.
