According to Chinese media such as China Press, a recent remark made during a class by a professor at a university in Inner Mongolia, China, sparked controversy online. During the lecture, he argued that "if a woman gives birth to a child, God will grant you grace and make you live longer" and that "successful women usually have a short lifespan".
He also emphasized that "Grandmothers who had eight to 10 children lived to the age of 90 to 100 years, and had very little chance of getting sick.'
The publisher who posted the video of the lecture online did not disclose the university where the professor is working.
Professor Lee is known to earn 300,000 yuan (about 60 million won) annually while working as a doctor at a hospital.
When the video was released, online articles criticizing him poured out.
Netizens are asking "Do you have any accurate data or scientific evidence?", "Doesn't a woman know there is a risk when giving birth?", "It is true that women outlive men, but there are no scientific conclusions about life expectancy and childbirth."This behavior of misleading students must stop" be posting comments such as.
Meanwhile, China is also facing an aging crisis, and many young people are reluctant to marry or give birth to children.
According to Hong Kong media outlet South China Morning Post, China's population declined for the first time in 60 years in 2022. It also fell by 2.08 million in 2023, the lowest fertility rate ever recorded at 6.39 per 1,000 people.
Authorities have tried various ways to solve the problem, including cash payments and tax cuts, but they do not appear to be effective.
