Titles for parents
Dad and mom
dad (father)
mom (mother)
★Chinese don’t move out home to establish one’s own family after grown up as westerners. The eldest son generally lives with his parents after marriage. This is due to the need to take care of the parents. This noble virtue is very difficult to be understood by people who don’t know china.
The closest people:
big sister
sister
big brother
brother
Conversation:
do you have brother or sister?
I have one elder sister.
★The implement of the family planning policy begins in 1979. Few people would have a brother or a sister in cities. That is, only people aged over 30 may have brothers and sisters. Chinese distinguish clearly who is older or younger among brothers and sisters. This is a tradition.
Titles among a family:
laogong (husband)
laopo (wife)
sons and daughters
baby
son
daughter
★Chinese spoil their children very much due to the family planning. In fact, permitting having only one child is for the Hans living in Chinese cities. The minority people could have more than one child. Besides, due to the need of work and productivity, farmers could have another child if the first child is female. However, having a third child no matter male or female would be punished by a fine. The amount which ranges from 10,000 to 100,000 is different around regions. It is really very cruel and inhuman to control the population in this way. However, it would be a crisis to the whole world if china doesn’t limit the population. Overall, some favor the policy while some are against it and the implement of the policy still goes on.
Titles of relatives:
relative(kindred)
uncle
aunt
cousin
nephew
niece
grandson
granddaughter
★Nowadays many children don’t have cousins in lots of cities due to the family planning policy. Would these titles of relatives disappear after several decades? Parents can’t work anymore after their children grow up. Then the new couple has to bring up one child and take care of 4 parents and 8 grandparents. How do they handle this? At present, the social security system has been in establishment. Wish it could bring some hopes to Chinese society.
