Only One Child Program Is Not Enough

Since 1979, China Government reagulated ony One Child Program for family who life in cities. For people who life in rural they have permited to have more than one child. Family in city who disobey this regulation must paid high fine, although sometimes they get discrimination in their office. After this regulation run make new problems. Propotion of senior citizen with productive age ciziten not balance anymore. This problem also makes unbalance jender proportion cause in China tradition mostly like to get boy than girl baby. Because of that, many parents in the cities chosen abortion way when they know get girl fetus. Except that, in future their afraid lack of worker. Singel child in family is tender to be egoism and spoiled. Many little boys in China get title as “Little Caesar”. Growing as single child is not always easier. Many parent want their child to be number one in everything. So the only child must followed they parent want and expectation. Sometimes parent too many push their child to do what they want.
Lately, this One Child Program regulation will be loosen. Government today pushing the parents to have second children. This is suitable with women expectation in China. China Daily explain 70,7 percent China womwn want more tahn one child in their family, 83 percent wants have one boy and one gorl in their family. Shanghai Govenment supported the regulation for two children. Shanghai itself is the most densily populated in China mainland. Three million population in Shanghai is 60 years old or approximately 22 percent of population. In 2002, thispopulation increase to 34 percent. Not all parents agree with the reagulation. They said to growing up one child is so difficult. The One Child Program that we know get many critics and protests from China itself and other countries. Because to make One Child Program running well, the government legally abortion and other violonce to women. China government want they population still on 1,36 million next year or same with this year.

If this condition happened, more than 300 million people will be moving from their home living area right now.

This condition make fisher and farmer more difficult and their in the front line faces the climate change. They will be loses their job. Preventive effort to avoid the raising of world temperature must have commitment from government. Without that is difficult to moblization ot arranged their citizen or people make it change.

Without No Seat on The Train

I had not really good experience with train. This happening two weeks a go when I have task in Central Java. I must survey road and bridge condition in this area. The last day of survey, I got news from my wife that my beloved son got sick. Influenza. He can sleep because cant breath well. So I have decision as soon as possible to come back to Jakarta. I am at that time at Purwakerto. That day was night, almost 9 pm. I have no choice to go back to Jakarta execpt by train. The schedule I have to back to Semarang and back to Jakarta by plane. However at that time no gurantee I got plane ticket for flight tommorow morning. Because this is peak season when student got holiday and week end. Then trip Purwokerto to Semarang, capital of Central Java, takes seven hours. Wasting time. No matter what, I must go back to Jakarta that night. I have 20 minutes to catch the train. Buy the ticket in locket price is Rp. 80.000 (approx. US$ 8). In ticket I can see the word : no seat. Many passenger luike me buy no seat ticket. I buy newspaper to use as match in train floor. Take pity on me. Floor is full by passenger. So I must seat in floor near toilet. So smell so stink and I got dizzy. To solve this problem I used my handkerchief as masker. This is not enough, I still can smell the toilet aroma. I spray parfume to my handkerchief. This is better.
My unluck not stop in that stink smell. Because I am in business train, amolst in every station, the train stop to wait another train pass through (becuase only one railway track). This is make worse by street vendor on the train to selling their good or food (like satay or friend rice on the package). So noise and I must be carefull because sometimes thief or pick pocket pretend as street vendor. I really can sleep by this noise, wind, and smell. Enough is enough. Next times I better looking hotel then go back by bus in the morning. It’s more comfortable and safe. So tired. Don’t laugh, I saw the worse condition than me. When the train stop for while in station ( I can see the name of station, but it is dark), I saw passengger in the enonomic train beside our train. The economic train really overloaded. Many passenger cant seat and only can stand up (they cant sit) in the toilet room with another six or seven passengers and the toilet have no lamp. So beside the smelly and small toilet room is also dark and hot. In that way, I feel lucky. The trip from Purwokerto to Senen Station takes 8 hours (compared to only one hour by plane). Lucky me, my son is going better and better. Makes my tired disappered.
NB : I still looking my train ticket. I want to show you.
