A few days ago, I looked at the data on newborns in my hometown, and it was very frightening. I am from the 80s, and back then, almost every household had children. By 1998, the total number of newborns in the city had dropped to 11,630. By 2024, the total number of newborns in the city is projected to be 3,180. The number of newborns in 2024 is only 27% of that in 1998. This is not just a halving; it's a neck-chopping. In 2023, the number of deaths was 13,162, with a mortality rate of 12.35‰, showing a natural population decline (-9.4‰). Without children, there is no vitality. You can see rows of small villas, either unoccupied or inhabited by 80-year-olds. By the time the children born in 2024 grow up, each will likely have seven or eight houses.
