It's nine in the morning, and Dr. Huang Libin begins his rounds at his hospital's pediatrics department. It's a taxing job, but he can get off work only after noontime the next day.
Huang is a pediatrician at one of the largest hospitals in southern China. Here there are less than 30 doctors serving the flood of parents and their children.
"It's very difficult to schedule work shifts, especially when the female doctors are on maternity leave to have their second babies. A whole day's duty is from 8:00 am to midnight the next day. We male doctors have to be on six to eight shifts like this every month."
A year ago, China formally introduced the two-child policy nationwide, ending decades of the one-child rule. Today, that policy's effects are gradually being felt.
In 2016, around 18 million babies were born in China, the highest number since the 2000. And 45 percent of them are the second in family.
参考译文
现在是上午九点,黄立斌医生在医院的儿科部开始了一天的工作 。这份工作很辛苦,但是他直到第二天中午过后才能下班 。
黄立斌在华南地区最大的一家医院里当儿科医师 。这里只有不到30位医生在为人来人往的父母和儿童提供服务 。
“很难安排轮班,尤其是很多女医生都请产假回家生二胎了 。一整天的工作是从早上八点到第二天午夜 。我们男医生每个月都得像现在这样调六到八次班 。”
一年前,中国正式在全国范围内实施二胎政策,结束了几十年的计划生育规定 。现在,这项政策的影响逐渐显露了出来 。
2016年,中国大概有1800万新生儿,达到2000年以来的最高峰 。其中有45%是第二胎 。
