This project documents another perception of the one–child policy. It is a recreation of memories—a reconstruction product through the eyes of the present.

It is undeniable that it was a collective tragedy of the era, however, there is much more than the general human rights’ criticism. Here, the One–Child Policy I am discussing is not propaganda in either way; it’s not about any judgement. It’s about women’s stories. It’s about life choices and the changing times. As the last generation of the only child, I feel the responsibility to collect the stories, stories that are unknown to most of us, before the memory being blurred and manipulated.

Among dozens of stories I collected through interviews, I selected some typical ones.
I reconstructed them into 8 storylines classified into four decades and two locations. They document different challenges Chinese women were facing in different decades. The stories show their decisions and life choices under social and political influences.
