lz's example can not be applied to ppl in china
women w/ kids are a lot easier to live off well in america due to the legal system's
protection toward women and kids.
there was(and still is) no such law in china.
what the kids grow up to be has nothing to do w/ the mother's choice to keep the kid or not.
your example can not be used as reference at all(maybe to ppl who don't have much education
will find ur example useful ba)
