The article highlights the dark historical reality in China where cultural biases and economic necessity have led to the systemic disappearance of girls. This was primarily driven by the preference for sons as the sole caregivers for parents in old age. Veronika Truszczyńska, a guest in the program 'Rzecz o geopolityce,' shares personal stories that illustrate how these experiences continue to resonate within Chinese families, such as the tale of a father whose older sister was sold into marriage to a much older man when she was just 18.

This generational trauma is not merely a relic of the past but manifests in contemporary behaviors, exemplified by grandparents overly nurturing their grandchildren, reflecting their own experiences of hunger and scarcity. The narrative suggests that the effects of historical injustices still linger, as families grapple with the repercussions of long-standing societal norms that valued male children over female.

Moreover, the article hints at the demographic challenges China faces, especially following the abandonment of the one-child policy in 2015. Transitioning to a multi-child model has encountered resistance, and implications for the future of China's demographic landscape are profound, emphasizing the need for systemic change to restore balance in societal values towards gender.
