Traditional maternity in China

I think the NPC representative's suggestion can be adopted, because many children's names can be said to be decided by their fathers now, and their mothers have no right to interfere. But for the sake of our children, we should also have the right to decide our own names. So in my opinion, it should be acceptable for children to take their mother's surname, but it should also be very important for our father to take their father's surname. I think what this representative is trying to say is that when a child is born, we should discuss with the parents who the surname should be. However, if our parents want to change their names when their children grow up, it is naturally a very good thing for us, because many children now think that the names given by their parents are not pleasant to listen to, and they are afraid of being rejected by their parents if they want to change their names. I think this suggestion is a very good thing for our children. But I think this is not a good thing for our parents, because maybe at a very young age, our parents began to call us by our names. It can be said that our parents are already very familiar with our names. If our children suddenly appear in front of us with a different name at this time, our parents may find it difficult to adapt, and our relatives and friends are used to our names. If we suddenly change our name, then for them, they think what happened at home, they will worry about us. Although this is our right, what I want to say is that when they decide to change their name, they must discuss it with our parents more and never make their own decisions. In fact, sometimes, we should also consider our parents. Since ancient times, our children have taken their father's surname, but now, with the development of the times, everyone's concept is different.
