Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the issue of fertility has always been inextricably linked to the modernization and development of the country. Since the mid-50s of the 20th century, the Chinese Communist Party has been implementing family planning throughout the country to adapt population growth to economic development. In the process of continuous achievements in family planning, the majority of rural women have not only become an important birth control mobilization target in this birth control policy, but also the main body practitioners and driving force of this policy. This book places rural women in the historical context of modernization development and women's own emancipation, and through the interactive use of oral materials, fieldwork, archives and documentary materials, it attempts to show the impact of this historical event of family planning on rural women's daily lives and how family planning policies have been incorporated into women's own life trajectories. At the same time, the book also attempts to reveal how China's gender system is related to family planning policy, and will examine the intersection and conflict between the "public" and "private" spheres.(AI翻译)
