What do you think– “A post-90s mother in Beijing says she can’t afford a second child and threw the baby in a trash can after giving birth””
Thread Content
Quote: On October 14, 2015, the heartless mother Wan Hongyu was tried at the Beijing No. 2 Intermediate People’s Court on charges of intentional homicide. In court, Wan Hongyu admitted guilt and said she regretted it. She explained that she simply did not want this child; lacking both the energy and the money, she hid the fact of her pregnancy from her family. Born in 1990, Wan Hongyu is from Shunyi; he has an intermediate vocational education level and was unemployed before the crime occurred. Wan Hongyu, 25 years old, was brought into the court. She had her hair in a ponytail, wore a black sweater and gray casual pants; she was of average height and spoke in a timid manner, looking like a student from a distance. She turned to look at the audience*, but didn’t see her family. “Her husband and sister were both there, outside the court,” the prosecution alleged. At around 8 a.m. on July 1, 2014, Wan Hongyu gave birth to a baby boy at her home in Huangcun Town, Daxing District. Wan Hongyu, unwilling to raise the child, strangled the child and then put the child in a garbage bag and discarded it in a public trash bin in the community, resulting in the death of the baby boy. On July 29, Wan Hongyu was captured by the Daxing Public Security Bureau. Wan Hongyu said that she lives with her father-in-law, mother-in-law, and husband, and has a son who is over one year old. She is usually the one who takes care of the child, though sometimes her mother-in-law can help out as well. After the Spring Festival in 2013, since her period had not come for a long time, she thought she might be pregnant; a pregnancy test confirmed that she indeed was pregnant. Regarding why she didn’t tell her husband, Wan Hongyu said, “We’re not financially independent; it’s my mother-in-law who makes the decisions. I felt there were financial difficulties.” My husband asked me too, but I didn’t tell the truth. My mother-in-law wants me to have another child. My husband said one is enough, and plus I don’t have enough energy; taking care of children is too exhausting, so I haven’t told the family the truth. ”The husband said that he had noticed his wife had gained weight and thought she might be pregnant, so he asked her, but Wan Hongyu said she wasn’t pregnant. He said he has now forgiven his wife, as the child is dead; “We still have another child, and I don’t want that child to lose its mother.” ” What is your assessment of the actions of the key figures involved in this case? And what advice would you give to those who are at a crossroads, considering the current environment?
Another family tragedy caused by a conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law
This is a problem left over from history, and no proper solution has been found to date. No matter who holds decision-making power in a family, it is essential to know how to make fair choices and distribute resources according to needs, as well as to be grateful. One should not act like a leader who thinks they are superior and tries to intimidate others with their authority; it is difficult for such a family or company to succeed.

I think it’s purely a personal issue and has nothing to do with my mother-in-law. After all, it’s an adult who should take responsibility for themselves! ! !
As a couple, they need to discuss matters like buying large household appliances; let alone the case of a newborn. The mother might be a bit overconfident, and it’s even less acceptable for her to sulk.
Tragedies caused by high life pressures are a very real social problem; managers should seriously consider how to change this reality.
Have you all noticed that although having an extra child increases living costs, reduces the quality of life and adds stress, it still means having an adorable baby. For those who love children, if they are willing to make the necessary sacrifices, having two or three isn’t a problem.
I suddenly feel disgusted by this news; it’s not something a normal person would do. I’m thinking about whether to delete it.
Allowing two children per family might lead to a surge in killings; due to late marriage, high housing costs and prices, as well as long commutes every day, many people find that they lack both the financial means and energy to support two children

Personally, I think that woman doesn’t not love her children – otherwise she would have had an abortion long ago. Looking at her mother-in-law and her husband, she sacrificed her own desires for the happiness of the whole family; she must have gone through a painful process of decision-making. This also shows that her family didn’t pay her enough attention or show her enough understanding.
