中国政府的独生子女政策是在1978年才实施的。相对而言，时间是比较近的。因此，1978年前出生的人很可能有一个或更多的兄弟姐妹。

该政策的目的不是对每个人都平等，对城市居民的意义更大。农民和中国少数民族是允许生多个孩子的，尤其是如果第一胎是女孩。

所以如果你到农村或中国偏远地区旅行，你会发现有的家庭不止一个孩子。

The One Child Policy of the Chinese government was implemented in 1978. That's relatively recent. Therefore, people born before 1978 are likely to have one or more siblings.

This policy is not to be equal for everyone and is meant more for urban residents. Farmers and China's ethnic minorities are allowed to have more than one child, especially if the first child is a girl.

So if you travel to rural or remote areas in China, you will find that some families have more than one child.
