[quote=LEONARDO,291362]Yup, Griz, Chinese people do address their Children in the way you mentioned above. Especially, the old generation of Chinese who usually has multiple children. They would say my No.One Son( 我(wǒ)的(de)大(dà)儿(ér)子(zǐ) No.2 Son 二(èr)儿(ér)子(zǐ) No. 3 Son 三(sān)儿(ér)子(zǐ) Also, the oldest son has a very important status in the family.A Chinese saying goes, "长(zhǎng)兄(xiōng)为(wéi)父(fù)", which means the oldest brother is like the father.The oldest son is the second most authoritative figure to other children in a family. In the royal families, the No.One Son is the only legitimate heir to the throne.[/quote]
