Chinese Baptism Edit Meaning

1.

The practice of a Chinese family drowning a female baby on account of their government's "one-child policy." This is often due to the necessity of having the child assist in farm labor and provide for the parents in their old age.

When the farming couple gave birth to a baby girl, they decided to have a Chinese baptism and hope the next one was a boy.
