IMO....the novelist was not too impressed with titled people, nobility, monarchs, wealth, etc, etc.

This is what I found in a Chinese novel. What do you think of these words?


SUNNYDREAM, probably here is the novel you mentioned -"Sunrise" written by Chinese playwright with high prestige name Cao, Yu. There is a word collection: ''The sun rises up, remains the darkness behind. But the sun does not belong to us, we have to sleep (die)..''This novel autheticly reflects the social phenomenon and cruel reality and as masterpiece, this novel with high literature achievments still has its vitality...dignity of survival is basic human right..

Here is the pic from this excellent movie that received academic rewards in China long time ago.

Not all chicks are dirty women. Some of them are forced to do that job. They came from some poor areas and dreamt of making money in cities. They never imagined to be prostitutes. However, the reality is too cruel.

GUEST48102 So, What is the proper term for the man who keeps a mistress? Not the usual words that some would call them.

I thought about this for a while but didn't find a proper term. As for the mistress, there are several terms in Chinese, such as 情妇 and 二奶. However, there seems to be no proper term for those who keep mistresses.

I do believe that we are the masters of our lives. Unless they are being enslaved or kept against their will, they are always in a position to look for a decent job. If other women can work as waitresses, cleaners, clerks, sales ladies, vendors, etc etc, they can too. It's just a matter of wanting it. Many of these women (doesn't matter the nationality) actually prefer (meaning it is a choice) to be prostitutes because there is more money in that work.

And there won't be any mistresses if there are no women who allowed themselves to be taken as mistresses.

Mistresses won't disappear as long as some men like to keep one or several mistresses and some women like to be mistresses too.
