Who gonna educate people?don't think China were lack of teachers,in fact,one teacher can educate 10 people.The same number of teachers can also educate 12 people,Don't even need 1.2 teachers.
My elementary school class has 61 people. It would be considered one of the area with more adequate educational resource in Shenyang back in 1992. Printing one page test papers for everyone requires all students from the class to chip in---something that was actually considered expensive for a lot of low income families. We also have 6 classes in the school year and the teachers are constantly overworked. People aspiring to go to university are also somewhat rare in those days, because it is widely accepted that there is not enough spots for everyone, or even a significant percent of the population.
Like I said, people who are born after 95 has no concept of limited resources because by the time they got to school, China has reached a certain level of development----courtesy of the benefit from one child policy, which is implemented in 1970s. Your parent's generation made the sacrifice and you benefit from them, please don't diss their effort.
Edit: Oh, btw, by the time I was born. Food supply in most of China is already secure. However, if you dial back the time just two more decade. The country's main concern is just getting enough food on table so they don't starve or getting invaded by a hostile neighbor. Not trying to sound like a stereotypical old guy, but newer generation simply doesn't appreciate a lot of things they taken for granted.
