The birth of a child may be one of the happiest things in the world, a newborn child is born in October, she comes to the world with the expectations of her parents, he may become a doctor, a policeman, a lawyer, a teacher, or simply an ordinary clerk, but some parents do not like their children, they may not expect the birth of this baby, or feel that she is a burden after birth. Why?
In China, there has always been a tradition of son preference, "no filial piety has three, no queen is greater", perhaps this "after" does not include girls, some people boast that they are "three generations of single transmission", so when they see the next generation is a woman, they may wish that she never appeared in this world, and there are more extreme examples: they may lose this child and regenerate a boy they are looking forward to.
This may be the reason why there are so many girls in orphanages, boys are generally defective, parents can not afford the cost of treatment to discard, while girls are mostly healthy, their parents are not willing to raise this girl to grow up, even if she is not as expensive as a sick boy from birth to eighteen years old.
This is why Americans like female abandoned babies, because the healthy children in orphanages are basically women, and healthy boys generally appear in orphanages because of some major disaster in the family, and another advantage of adopting Chinese children is that the procedures are not so complicated, the cost of adoption is less, and Americans are not so patriarchal, and even many people like girls.
Probably because China is too wide, people in first- and second-tier cities have changed their minds, believing that giving birth to boys and girls is the same, and women's abilities are no worse than men's; and some people in underdeveloped areas will still feel: I must have a boy, so that my family will not be extinct, so that my family can have hope. For the latter, I just want to say that the Qing Dynasty is dead, and your family has no throne to inherit. Do you have anything to say about son preference? Welcome to leave a message to let me know.
