In a small village, there lived an only daughter named Xiaofang. She was the only daughter in the family, and her parents died when she was very young. Every year on Qingming Festival, Xiaofang will go to her parents' graves alone to offer flowers and offerings to express her feelings of missing her parents.
However, the people of this small village are conservative and are very puzzled and ridiculed by the behavior of an only daughter who goes to the grave of her parents. They believed that only sons could inherit the family business and that it was the son's responsibility to go to the grave of his parents. Therefore, every time Xiaofang went to the grave, she would be ridiculed and discriminated against by the villagers.
Xiao Fang did not give up the tradition of going to her parents' graves because of the ridicule of the villagers. On the contrary, she strengthened her belief that children should be filial and express their gratitude to their parents, regardless of gender. She also began to spread the word to the villagers, hoping to change their perceptions.
As time passed, Xiaofang's persistence and hard work finally paid off. The people of the village gradually began to understand and accept her actions, and also began to respect her choice. Xiaofang's behavior has also attracted more attention and reflection, making people begin to re-examine the traditional concept of gender and filial piety.
This story tells us that traditional culture and gender concepts are not static, and that we should respect everyone's choices and rights, and should not ridicule and discriminate against others because of gender or other reasons. At the same time, we should also inherit and carry forward the excellent traditional culture, so that they can radiate new vitality and meaning in the new era.
