where to spend the spring festival As the spring festival is coming, most Chinese people are planning to go home, and spend the precious vacation with their parents. But here is a question, if you are married, whose home will you go back to? The husband’s or the wife’s? China’s tradition seems very clear on this issue: definitely the husband’s home. As the saying in China, once you get married, you should always follow your husband no matter he is a chicken or a dog. Another similar saying is a daughter who has married is like the water you have poured, which means you can never get back. In thousands of years, Chinese women obeyed the rule without any problem. But with the development of the economic and the awareness of women’s thoughts nowadays, some women have realized tradition is not always reasonable. Here are 3 main reasons. First of all, women and men were both born equal, and have the same rights as men’s. Second, both of their parents spent a lot of efforts to raise them, women’s parents miss their daughter too. The most important reason is, compared to the situation years before, now is very different ,because of the one child policy in China, your wife is the only kid her parents have too. The feeling of homesickness of married women is much stronger nowadays. So I think Chinese men should be more open minded. If you love your wife, you should show your understanding and respect to her.
