Look at your watch for just one minute. During that time in 1981, 239 babies were born in the world. Perhaps you think that isn’t much. In the next hour, over 14,000 more babies will be born on the earth. Just think how many more babies there will be born in one year. If this goes hour after hour, what will happen in a hundred years?
The population problem may be the greatest one of the world today. Two thousand years ago, there were only 250 million people on the earth. Four hundred years ago, the number was over 500 million. The population may be 8,000 million by the year 2000.
In China, the population problem is quite great, too. The Party’s leaders are paying much attention to it, but lots of people don’t think so. They like to do what they want. Some love more children. Some wish to have both son and daughter. Other would like to have not only daughters but also sons. Haven’t they ever thought the population problem? If nothing is done to stop this, things will get worse and worse. The figure of the world’s population will certainly be a terrible one. There will be only standing room on the earth some day.
