- Title
The Melancholy of Kinship in Post-One-Child China.
- Authors

- Abstract
Canadian swimmer Maggie Mac Neil's Olympic gold medal sparked heated discussions on the Chinese internet, bringing to the fore practices of child abandonment and transnational adoption in China's one-child era (1979-2015). This essay examines related online discourses and how their implications generate a more comprehensive and personal understanding of the ramifications of the One-Child Policy and contemporary social imaginings of kinship. It considers how Jiangxi Province, once a place where child abandonment was widely practised, has emerged as an important site of memory.
