On the first day of the Lunar New Year, a shocking incident occurred somewhere in Anhui. 31-year-old Xing Mouyun is a woman who has been divorced for three years, and she returned to her parents' home for the Spring Festival this year. However, her return was not well received, but was met with her brother-in-law smashing meals and shouting reprimands.
From ancient times to the present, there has always been a saying that a girl is no longer a member of her mother's family after marriage. This traditional belief stems from the selfishness of the belief that the marriage of girls increases the population and leads to a decrease in household food rations. Therefore, even if a girl returns to her parents' home for the New Year after a divorce, it may cause dissatisfaction and conflict among family members.
Xing Mouyun's experience is the realistic embodiment of this traditional concept. Her brother-in-law did not welcome her back to her parents' house for the New Year, and her attitude was hostile, even reprimanding her for "getting out". Although Xing Mouyun expressed understanding, this kind of treatment obviously lacks kindness and humanity.
Netizens also launched a heated discussion about this incident. Some people believe that the argument that a girl is no longer a member of her mother's family after marriage is outdated, and that the behavior of her brother-in-law is unforgivable. And it has also been pointed out that in any case, kindness and character are always the most important.
This incident has triggered a reflection on traditional concepts and human morality. Whether it is a girl or a brother-in-law, they should treat each other with kindness and understanding, rather than hurting the feelings and dignity of others because of traditional ideas.
