RE: Stories From Communist China - Why My Father Named Me "A Small Celebration" Rather than "A Big Celebration"

in #life8 years ago

Thanks! It was my mom's write up :-) She is close to her mom now. Her dad passed away a few years ago but she was close to him as well. My grandparents did love my mom, but had a traditional Chinese mindset when it came to gender favoritism. Also they lived during WWII, the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Communist Revolution, and the Cultural Revolution, so my mom really empathizes with them on why they may have been distant or cold.
