Abstract

The Dink population experienced a great increase in number in China in recent years. This results in the stigma from various groups discrediting their morality. Under heavy pressure imposed by such discrimination and factors concerning economy, health, and loneliness, some of the Dink population choose to end their lives without children, which causes discussion on the issue among the general public. This study examines different categories of discrimination and provides a picture of how Chinese dink struggles and survives through them.
