[quote=CHYNAGYRL,244058]I'm not really interested in returning to the 1950s. In the past, Chinese men had multiple wives too, didn't they? ...It seems to me that many women lived lives of quiet desperation back then. Can you imagine being the fourth wife and having to show deference to the first three wives so she can get along with them? I cannot say for sure, but judging from literature I've read of that period, marriages had problems too. I also found something strange about older Chinese films. (ie first or second generation Chinese filmmakers). There seems to be an inordinate number of women committing suicide. I wondered if just the filmmaker's creation, or a true reflection of the desperation that afflicted women back then. There's a country that people say is very 50's, which is Korea. Maybe you can visit there and see what their marriages are like. I can tell you that they have their own problems too, just different ones from those in a Western country.[/quote]
