In the 1980s, family planning was as terrifying as the preference for sons over daughters in rural areas. Because of the labor force, rural residents can have two children. Unfortunately, both of the Hua family were boys, so they had a labor force, but there were no girls to help with the housework or take care of them in their later years. The couple jointly wanted to have a girl. In order to have a girl, my second brother was arranged to live with his uncle's house right after he was born. The next year, a girl was born successfully, but she contracted polio after birth. After struggling again, although they were not abandoned, the grandparents were particularly resentful. When I reached school age, in order to obtain a household registration, I had to delay the relationship and pretend that the two children were twins.
Later, in the past 40 years, they became the strongest brother and sister relationship.
