In this ever-changing world, some old ideas are like stubborn stones, standing firmly on the cusp of the times, even though they are surrounded by a sea of new ideas. In many families, the concept of patriarchy is still deeply rooted, and they are like anchors that bind people's hearts to the traditional harbor. But time has passed quietly, and today, 20 years later, what kind of cruel reality will families without children face to give birth to boys?
Let's use a key to open the door of time and explore these three questions.
First of all, the burden of succession is like a boulder of antiquity, weighing on the shoulders of families without sons. The older generation believes that boys are the inheritors of the family fire and the solid foundation of the family tree. In the future, they will marry wives and have children, and continue the family incense. This belief is deeply rooted in the human heart, like the roots of an ancient tree, firmly entrenched in the earth. And the daughter is considered to be the water that is married out, flowing into someone else's family field, taking away the nutrients of the family.
Then, the issue of pension is like a twilight picture, rendering the future of families without sons. After the only daughter got married, the parents' later life seemed to lack a warm sun. In the concept of raising children to prevent old age, the son is the bright light, illuminating the way for parents in their old age;And the daughter is like a cloud blown away by the wind, which is difficult to keep.
When it comes to the issue of poverty, it is like a cunning thief, quietly peeking into the property of childless families. In rural areas, houses and land are not only the basis for life, but also valuable family assets. Families without boys often become the focus of greedy eyes, and their property is like a piece of unprotected fat, provoking the covetousness of outsiders.
Although modern society advocates equality between men and women, traditional ideas are still deeply rooted in some remote villages. For example, in my hometown in Guangxi, a family dreamed of having a boy, and continued to try after six daughters.
The wheels of the times are rolling forward, and today's people have shown earth-shaking changes in their conception of childbearing. Some families would rather welcome a daughter because they seem to be much less financially and emotionally burdened. Giving birth to a daughter, there is no need to prepare a house and a car for her, and their intimacy and filial piety often exceed that of their sons.
But when these children start their families, the real challenges for families without boys are revealed. The worries of the older generation are like a seed of time, quietly taking root and sprouting.
Twenty years later, when the fog of patriarchy is dispelled little by little by the light of the times, will families without boys find that those seemingly cruel questions have already had answers to the new era?Autumn and Winter Check-in Challenge
