He has worked all his life in family planning. He often hangs a sentence on the lips is, “demolish buildings, catch pig niang, I also have devoted my life to family planning.”

In 1969, Lao Bai was born in a small village in the north of Hunan Province. After two years of senior high school, he failed to enter the university and lost the chance to go out of the village.
In the local area, high school graduates are also considered to be talented students, after graduation, by virtue of the relationship between his father, Old Bai into the local primary school teaching.
At that time, Lao Bai’s father was the captain of the local production team, and became the secretary of the village after the reform and opening up, their family in the small village, is also a wealthy family. After just one year of teaching, Old Bai felt no challenge and was too lazy to prepare for the course. Finally, he was fired.
His father found a relationship again and sent him to the local township government. From then on, Lao Bai officially began his “family planning life”.
That was in 1990, the second year, old white sister-in-law after gave birth to two daughters, was pregnant with the child, but the family planning policy is very strict, village leaders don’t agree with the old white sister-in-law gave birth to the child, old white his father sat at the head office, took three table, said: “I am the secretary of the improper, also want to let my daughter-in-law children born.”
Then old Bai Gave birth to her third child, a boy. Meanwhile, his father’s village secretary has not done so either.
From now on, old white lost his biggest backer, begin a person to enter swing.

The work of the Family planning Office is not complicated. Lao Bai is the most highly educated person in the office, so he also does demographic statistics and gives birth permits to people.
At that time, there were five people in the unit, including a director, who was regarded as a leader. A statistician, is the old white himself; A barefoot doctor specialises in miscarriages, induced Labour and ligations for pregnant women who have had more than one child; There are also two clerks, catch more than the birth of the object, they on.
In the 1990s, when the family planning policy was very strict, rural thinking remained unchanged. Even if the first child gave birth to a boy, or want to have a girl – “although the countryside is poor, but poor also have poor foster law, always will not feed the child to die.
This also brought very big difficulty to the family planning work of old white them, go to the village to catch exceed to give birth to an object sometimes, the village person often unites to rebel, the incident that beats a person to shed blood also happens from time to time.
But old White has never made a move, even if the fight, he just stood on the far side to watch. As a result, his colleagues disliked him and regarded him as timid.
But the villagers all think he is good-natured, even those who were forced to abort the child’s parents, also do not bear him too much hatred, sometimes meet, will take the initiative to greet him.

The good-natured Old White was also once in hospital, where he was stabbed once.
It was May 1998, and the director received feedback from someone in the hospital: in the local village of Sihe, a woman was five months pregnant with her second child and had just gone to the county hospital to have her antenatal examination.
The director arranged for five men from his unit to set out for the village overnight. At about ten o ‘clock in the evening, the party arrived at the entrance of the village. They met the woman and her husband, who were preparing to go to Guangdong with a bag of luggage.
The man saw someone coming, frightened legs tremble, once sat on the ground, and said: “Please, let us give birth to this child, after a few years I will come back to pay the fine, ok? My daughter-in-law had a daughter at the first birth, and I want a son to give birth to incense, please…”
The director stepped forward and pulled the man to his feet. “Brother, I also tell you that we can’t help it. This is a regulation of the national policy, and we also act according to the regulations.
The woman’s father-in-law and mother-in-law saw this situation far away, carrying a hoe ran out, stopped in the family planning office in front of five people, “Today who dare to seize people, I will hoe to kill him!
“Demolishing buildings and catching pig niang, I have devoted my life to family planning.” “Demolishing buildings and catching pig niang, I have devoted my life to family planning.”
The director is angry, scold a way: “good say you don’t listen to with you, return menace us, be to want to fight not?”
The two thugs listened to this, immediately stepped up, grabbed the hoe in the woman’s in-laws hand, turned around, a kick to the man’s stomach, a family of four immediately froze. The man got up, pulled his parents, said to the director: “Leadership, understanding our good…”
“It’s not like there are no solutions.” The director saw the situation relaxed, also changed a tone of voice, “You pay a fine of fifteen thousand, and then you can rest assured.”
“I really don’t have any money right now, how about this? You see what is valuable in my house, you move away right?” “The man pleaded.
Director conductor old white and other two thugs together, go to the home of a woman turn over a circle, found their home in addition to a black and white TV, is really nothing valuable, and that black and white TV, also not worth so much money.

So, the director decided to take the object back, by the way will also move the black and white TV back. I will give you a week to collect the money, and then give it to the man who will let it go.
A week later, desperate men with knives went to the Family planning office and said, “You won’t let me be well, and I won’t let you be well, and if you don’t let me be well, I’ll die here today.”
This kind of circumstance old white they encounter also much, basically nobody answer, before this, those peasants make a fuss, all can go back by themselves. Unexpectedly, the man stayed in front of the family planning office for three days and three nights, but he did not leave. The leaders in the village let the director of the Family planning office deal with it as soon as possible. The director turned around and told Lao Bai to solve it.
The old white talked with that man for a long time and said all the national policies he knew, but the man refused to go. The two thugs could not help looking at the man and went up to “fix” him. One to two to move hands, the old white mixed in three people to mediate.
Suddenly, the knife in the man’s hand went into old White’s stomach.
Lao Bai lay in the hospital for more than half a month, during which the man also took a Lotus Wang and a red envelope of 500 yuan, to see Lao Bai once.
Later discharged from the hospital, Lao Bai just knew that everyone in the unit had received the man to send cigarettes, only he and the director received a red envelope, director relaxed, let them go to Guangdong gave birth to a child. But the black and white TV was never returned, and was taken home by a thug for use.

Three years later, there were some financial problems in the village. At the end of the year, there was really no money to settle the bill for those who were eating and taking wine. So he sent Lao Bai and another thug to Guangdong to collect fines for having excess children to alleviate the situation.
Two people with 10,000 yuan, all the way to Guangzhou, taxi, taxi ran to the viaduct, the thug looked at the meter fast turn, immediately said: “No no no, how so expensive, I don’t sit.”
Old white a hold him down and say: “you are afraid of what, again not spend your money.”
When collecting money in Guangzhou, they found the man who stabbed people at that time, he opened a small supermarket in the village in the city, made some money, see the old white they, very enthusiastic, also asked the old white they had a big meal.
During the meal, old White lifted his clothes and showed the man the scar on his stomach. “You see, these are all the marks you have left on me.” The man on the wine table to the fine to the old white, but also by the way to the old white and thugs each sealed a red envelope.
In this way the fine of this household was received.
Last year, the government allowed all couples to have two children. Lao Bai’s job became much easier, that is, to conduct demographic statistics and obtain birth permits for people.
Every time I see someone to do a second child birth permit, The old white will always sigh: “This is not allowed before! The only regret I have in my life is that I didn’t have one more child. Now my son is working outside and there are only two of us left. It’s so boring.”
In the spring of 2016, Lao Bai asked me to write a report on his work. He said, “In the 1990s, I actively supported the national policy and devoted my whole life to family planning. Now I am not even a clerk.
I comforted him: “You have done revolutionary work all your life, people will not remember you.”
Old White shook his head. “I never thought of that. I used to think my job was unfair, but I have to support my family. Now that the policy is in place, I feel much more comfortable doing things.”
Suddenly I saw old Bai’s white hair. “Don’t think about the past. Policies change. Life goes on.”
