哦，我美丽的皇后，小的错了。网红指的就是“网络红人”，他们是随着网络经济的发展而形成并不断完善壮大的，网红要走红，不是非得符合大众的“审美观”，也可以另辟蹊径，只要迎合网民喜好娱乐、刺激、实用，甚至“审丑”的心态即可。

You can even approach it with an "ugly aesthetic" in mind.

根据中国儿童福利和收养中心的粗略统计，全国各地设立的“弃婴安全岛”接受的弃婴，大约99%都是病残儿童。婴儿被遗弃的主要原因是家庭无法承受昂贵的医疗费，无法承受特殊孩子将来的特殊教育费用，很多家庭担心因病致贫，这一定程度上凸显了当前中国儿童福利保障制度有不完善的方面。

According to rough statistics from the China Centre for Children's Welfare and Adoption, of the babies received in every single place where “abandoned baby safety islands” have been established, approximately 99% of them are disabled children. The biggest reason that babies are abandoned is that families have no way to cope with the high costs of medical treatment and no way to cope with the future costs of special education for their special child. Many families are afraid that they will be made poor because of the illness. This has definitely revealed the imperfect aspects of China's present children's welfare system.

当然！而且农民没有退休金，所以“养儿防老”的观念才那么根深蒂固。还有你说的什么住别墅，没错，他们不缺面积，但是大部分农村基础设施不完善，比如没有下水道，也不能用抽水马桶。

Of course! Furthermore, they don't get pensions, which is why the idea of raising sons to support you in your old age is so deep-rooted. Also, the thing you were saying about living in villas: you're right. They're not lacking in surface area, but the majority of the infrastructure is imperfect. For instance, there's no sewer and they can't use flush toilets, either.

Yeah. I said the same thing to my Mom. When you're going through a bear market, if you can't keep calm, you'll always end up getting hurt even more. And what's more, China's securities market is not mature or complete enough. Trading isn't structured enough. There are hidden dangers everywhere.
