Study hard and learn from history every day
Concise and concise, it is indeed a master's work and very enjoyable. At the same time, there is still much that can be described about China's population policy today, but the author did not write it down, so it is not very satisfying.
The discussion is relatively comprehensive and easy to understand. The time span is also relatively comprehensive.
Basically, it was okay, but in the end, the advice to young people not to have children turned into trying to force women to have children and invent a new religion to brainwash women. .
