What is the phenomenon of son preference in China?

There should still be a lot of preference for boys. Although equality between men and women is advocated, there are still many elderly people whose parents have not changed from that concept. People think that only men can carry on the family line. In modern society, who will regard family background as so important? Although it is necessary to continue the next generation, it is not up to one person to decide.

Most of the patriarchal phenomena I have seen happen to the older generation. Although our family doesn't have it, there are still many old people who do. One of our roommates lived in high school for a week before going back once. Their home is close to school, and her grandmother often sends her some delicious food and fruits in season. Anyway, in our eyes, we especially envy her for having such a good grandmother. But she said how good she is to me now, and she has always had a knot in her heart, so it is difficult to forgive grandma. Her grandmother gave birth to two sons, the eldest son gave birth to a son, and his father gave birth to a daughter. At that time, her grandmother was eccentric. All the food and fun belongs to his brother. I never thought of her as a granddaughter anyway. What she can't forgive most is that when she was a child, she was sick and had a high fever. Her parents were not at home and her grandmother took care of her. Then she told her grandmother that she felt sick, but her grandmother told her to leave her alone and go. It was dragged on until her parents came back to the hospital. Almost no recovery, but from then on, it left a sequela, that is, what happened to her eyes? Oh, they all grew up before the operation. She almost cried when she talked about it. I have never seen such a cruel grandmother.

Later, his brother went swimming in the river and never came back. She is the only child in the family. Slowly, her grandmother became more and more kind to her. I don't know if it's because of guilt or because she is the only one. It's really hard to understand that the old man prefers boys to girls, and I don't want to understand it.

But when it comes to the preference of the elderly for boys, my grandmother is different. She has several sons, but she only prefers the youngest son. Everything is fine with her youngest son. Because of this, our big family has always been particularly at odds, not for anything, but because it is particularly unfair. She is not only partial to her youngest son, but also loves his daughter. For our other grandchildren, having a grandmother is never a happy thing. No matter how kind we are to her, we can't share her little love.

In my opinion, children are all the same, all parents' treasures, and I am a daughter. I think my daughter is more caring and sensible.
