Thirty-two Years Ago, Mr. Li And Mrs. Wu From Zhejiang Abandoned Their Second Baby Daughter At A Marketplace.

An Li From Guangzhou First Learned About The Concept Of A Sibling At University, In Her Town There Were No Sisters Or Brothers. With The Chinese Government Now Seeking To Phase Out Its One Child Policy, Secrets And Siblings Reveals The Scale Of Its Tragic Consequences, Showing How Chinese Family And Society Has Been Forever Changed. In Doing So It Also Overturns Many Of Our Misconceptions About Family Life In China, Bravely Arguing That It Is The State, Rather Than Popular Prejudice, That Has Hindered The Adoption Of Girls Within China.
