[quote=ONMYWAY,411070]“If you can only have one baby, do you wish to conceive a boy or a girl?” I asked my cousin. He said: “Of course a girl. It is difficult to raise a boy till he grows up. You have to buy him a flat before he gets married. But I can’t buy him a flat due to the high housing price. If I have a girl, I needn’t worry about this.” As he wished, his wife gave birth to a baby girl. You see, the rising housing prices have changed many Chinese’s preference for sons. My cousin is just one of these guys. In the past, people preferred to have a son than a daughter. They can carry the family name and support their parents. Because of the “one child” policy and the traditional preference for sons, millions of girls failed to come into the world. And this causes serious gender imbalance. “There will be 20 million bachelors until 2020”, according to a report. [/quote]
