Description
My Only Child tells the heart-wrenching stories of four individuals who were affected by China's one-child policy. Over 218 million only children in China today are a result of this policy, which was enforced from 1980 to 2015 and prevented around 400 million births.
The book shares the tragic experiences of those who lost their child due to circumstances such as abduction, illness, or adoption. It also highlights the resilience and love of parents who were left behind, including a couple whose only son was taken away, a young woman who died of cancer, an elderly man who adopted a daughter after losing his own child, and a mother who sacrificed everything for her dying daughter.
Written sensitively by Ning Wang and beautifully illustrated by four talented Chinese comics artists, My Only Child provides a poignant look at the human impact of this policy. The book is a powerful tribute to the lives affected by this period in history.
