【新唐人2011年4月25日讯】《礼记》记载，有一个妇人即使家翁、丈夫和儿子都命丧虎口，却宁可呆在老虎为患严重的荒山野岭，因为那里没有苛刻的政府，孔子因此发出了“苛政猛于虎”的喟叹。而在河南，有一对夫妇为了躲避中共的“一子政策”，也宁可住到了穷乡僻壤的山区生育孩子。
河南省洛阳市嵩县德亭乡孙元村，农民袁铁明一家人在山坡上挖了窑洞，居住了12年，几乎与外界隔绝，为的就是要生个儿子，躲避“一子政策”。他们夫妇的事迹，被大陆媒体称为“最现实的超生游击队”。
据报导，袁铁明与妻子从嵩县大章乡迁移至此，在这里生了5个女儿。两年前，因为生活艰难，最小的女儿出生4天后，袁铁明把孩子送给了自己的亲戚。谁知因为收了点抚养费，被嵩县德亭派出所以拐卖人口的名义给抓了起来，如今缴纳了3500元，袁铁明才被“取保候审”。
袁铁明与妻子的作法被大陆媒体认为“可笑”，报导传开后，网络上也议论纷纷，有网友指责农民“重男轻女”、“养儿防老”的思想过于愚昧，甚至有网友说“穷死活该”，但许多网友却表示谅解与同情。
了解农村状况的网友说：“这种人家都罚，罚3500够他们干三四年了吧。没有去过和亲身经历过的都不要瞎说， 农村老人的生活有什么？就是逗孩子。在农村，姑娘出嫁后就剩老人在家，没有儿子，就没有孙子，那种凄凉是你们无法想像的。”
有网友直接抨击：“苛政猛于虎”、“全世界唯一实行计划生育的国家——中国”。
网友“梦醒时分”说：“在中国这个传统的国家，如果想改变这些，国家和政府就要想办法解决农村老人的养老问题，国家富裕了，可中国还有多少人吃不饱，穿不暖，又有谁关心过这些穷人啊，谁愿意过这种穷日子？可又有多少做官的是在为民做事，有谁关心过这些穷人啊！”
有网友指出：“主要是农民的生活没保障，养儿防老、积谷防饥的观念还很重，第二，人多才不会被欺负的思想也很重，因为体制下的农民没有安全感！社会缺乏互信互爱的精神基础。衍生出来的就是地域文化问题，地域歧视问题。”
看完网友的评论，不禁引人寻思：究竟农民是可笑还是可怜，究竟是农民愚昧还是中共的“一子政策”、农村政策愚昧？

Mountain Cave Living VS One Child Policy
A story in Confucius’ Analects says,
due to a harsh government, a woman chose to live
in the mountain even after she lost her family to tigers.
Confucius lamented that tyranny is worse than tigers.
In China, a farmer family from Henan Province lives
in the mountain just to escape the “one child policy".
Yuan Tieming, a farmer from Hunan, and his family
have lived in a mountain cave for 12 years,
to give birth to a son under the “one child policy".
The media in China called them super birth guerrillas.
Yuan and his wife moved here from their hometown.
They had 5 more daughters here.
Due to financial hardship, 2 years ago,
Yuan gave their youngest daughter to a relative.
However, he was arrested for human trafficking,
because he had received some money from the relative.
He was released after paying RMB 3,500.
Now Yuan is waiting for a trial.
Chinese media called Yuan’s behavior ridiculous.
Netizens also expressed their various opinions.
One said, Yuan is ignorant for being “patriarchal" and
having the mentality of “raising children for old age".
Another said, the poor deserve to die.
However, many expressed their understanding.
A netizen that knows about China’s rural life said:
Peasants need to work for 4 years to pay RMB 3,500.
If you have no rural experience, say no foolish remarks.
Villagers’ daughters leave them after getting married.
Without a son, one has no grandchildren.
That kind of sadness is beyond anyone’s imagination.
Some said bluntly: “tyranny is worse than tigers",
“China is the only country practicing birth planning".
A netizen said, to make changes in a traditional society,
the government needs to care for the rural elderly.
No one cares about the poor. No one likes to be poor.
However, the officials have done little for the poor.
Another pointed out: The key is to protect the farmers.
Raising children to provide for old age and
saving for a rainy day are ingrained thoughts.
Problems like regional culture and discrimination
are derived from a society lacking mutual trust and love.
After reading these comments, one has to wonder:
Are farmers ridiculous or pathetic?
Which is ridiculous, the one child policy or the farmer?
