I could not believe what happened ?
2002, July. We were on a tour to take a plane from Moscow to St.Petersburg. We saw that a young mother holding a baby went up the stairs, all the passengers gave her way immediately and an air hostess helped her to a VIP seat. I wondered if she was a very important lady ,so that people paid the great honor to her. Our tourist guide said that the Russian Government worried about the birth rate lower and lower because the Russian winter is so cold that hard to bear a baby. They are very precious the young generations.
We live in a subtropical area, our Government worried about a large population would be a heavy burden in finance and made the ad. " Just two kids are good and in spite of male or female babies all the same." In the mainland China, a couple even be permitted only one baby to bear.
Suddenly , I could not believe what happened ? Just passed ten years, our birth rate decreases rapidly down the lowest in the world. And the Government declared a lot of projects, such as healthy insurance, bearing allowance, caring allowance, education free ,tax decreasing and all the people pay attention to the safety of children .
In Taiwan,the steps are hurry and the competing pressure is heavy, more material desire and less feelings between generations,uncertainly in the future. Many of our young people say, "If I could not believe better in the future ,what could I give to my generation ? "
In the ten years, Taiwanese middle class lost their confidence and the richest get more wealth and the poverty get less resource. I could not believe what happened ?
我無法相信這倒底怎麼一回事?
二OO二年七月，我們搭飛機從莫斯科到聖彼得堡旅行。看見一個抱著嬰兒的年輕婦女要上階梯，所有的旅客立刻讓路給她，一位空中小姐幫助她並帶領她到貴賓席。我猜想她可能是一位非常重要的女士，所以大家都很禮遇她。我們的導遊說俄羅斯政府非常憂慮出生率越來越低，因為俄羅斯的冬季酷寒，嬰兒養育不易，所以他們非常珍惜嬰幼兒。
我們住在副熱帶，我們的政府擔心太多的人口會造成財政的嚴重負擔，並作廣告"兩個恰恰好，男孩女孩一樣好。"在中國大陸，甚至一對夫妻祗允許生一個孩子。
突然地，我無法相信這倒底怎麼一回事? 僅僅過了十年，我們的出生率急速減少跌至世界最低。政府宣佈許多措施，如健康保險，生育補助，育嬰補助，教育免費，減稅，所有的人都密切關注兒童
安全。
在台灣，腳步匆忙，競爭壓力沈重，更多的物質慾望，世代間的親情越淡，對未來不確定感。許多年輕人說，"假如我不能相信未來會更好，我能夠拿什麼給我的孩子? "
十年之間，台灣的中產階級失去了他們的自信，富有的人累積更多財富，貧窮的人資源更少。我無法相信這倒底怎麼一回事?
