Bao Yunlu , a senior 2 boy from the No.8 Middle School in Hefei , Anhui province , often dreams of having an elder sister . “I want her to help me with my homework , share my feelings and take care of me ,”he said .

But last week Li Honggui , head of the China Family Planning Association , sparked a hot debate when he told newspapers there would be no change to the current one-child policy . It will remain the provincial governments’ right to decide on individual cases .

“Being an only child is quite lonely . Sometimes parents can’t understand and friends don’t care.”

The one-child policy began in 1987 . Now China has nearly 100 million single child families , one third of the total . The policy has successfully slowed down Chinese population growth by 10million babies a year . But there are problems .

As the center of the family’s attention they don’t know about the hardship of life . “The one-child generation has no idea of thrift (节俭),” said Xing Yuan, professor of sociology at Shanxi University . Some of them also don’t know how to get on well with others .

Bao agreed that being an only child has had an effect on his personality . “We are less tolerant and considerate than our schoolmates who have brothers or sisters,” he said .

But others don’t agree . “I don’t feel the difference between me and my classmates who have a brother or sister . They often complain to me about quarreling with their brothers or sisters . I feel lucky to have nobody to steal my belongings,” said Bai Yijing , a senior 1 girl from the Middle School attached to Beijing Petroleum Institute . As an only child , Bai is quite happy. “I spend my leisure time and share my feelings with my friends . I am not lonely at all .
