Last year when I was at Qidong, I heard that a village woman left her newborn baby girl by the side of the public restroom. This year I personally saw in Qiyang a resident find a girl infant at his doorstep when he opened the door in the morning. Tied to the infant was a slip of red cloth on which was written the infant's birth date and a message begging other people to adopt the child, as the father would not accept the baby girl and the mother had no choice but to abandon her. This has aroused my indignation and provoked my thinking. I felt the necessity to visit the countryside to probe into rural women's mentality regarding the bearing of baby girls in an attempt to answer the following questions: 1. What is the proportion of rural women who are unwilling to give birth to baby girls
