The topic is a woman who had 7 children after paying a fine of 170 million won for violating China’s’one household, two children’ birth control policy.
On the 25th, Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post (SCMP) highlighted the family of Zhang Longlong (34, female), CEO of a small and medium-sized business that produces clothing, accessories and skin care products in Guangdong, China.
He had five sons and two daughters, even paying fines for violating China’s rule of fines for three or more children. Children’s age varies from 1 to 14 years old. “It’s not that I have no more children,” he stressed. Zhang Long-Long is sharing his extended family life on social media in China and sharing it with netizens.
China has adopted a policy of’one household and one child’ since 1979 and has been fined for giving birth to two or more. However, as the population decline became clear, the policy was relaxed to allow births of’one household, two children’ in some regions from 2013.
Since 2015, it has been expanded to all over China, and now it is fined for having three or more children. If the fine is not paid, it is impossible to report the birth of children. Jang Long-Long is said to have been fined a total of 1 million yuan (about 173.06 million won) as a fine.
“Before I had a lot of children, I asked myself if I could afford this financially, and I thought it was possible, so I gave birth to many children.” I had a lot of children,” he said.
He added, “I was originally planning to have more, but my husband had a vasectomy so I couldn’t have any more children.”
