As stated in the film’s ending, “Starting in January 1, 2016, China will officially end the so-called “one-child per family” policy that began 35 years ago, and having a second child is an option now. This policy is said to result in a population control over about 400 millions of unborn babies during this 35-year period. In 1997, the year the film is set, people living 800m above sea level were permitted to have two children. Those living between 500-800m could have two if the eldest child was a girl, and those living 500m above sea level could only have one ( I am not sure if the height law actually existed).
