[quote=BBQQ,389892]Having a baby is a happy thing for a couple. Usually, their parents have already chosen a name for their baby before he/she comes into the world. Traditionally, Chinese kids follow their dads’ surname. But this tradition might have been changed. And some couples even argue on this issue. Some even divorce for this matter. Case 1 Wang Ming and his wife had a beautiful baby girl. However, they were not very happy since they have disputes on their baby girl’s surname. His wife insists that her baby girl should follow her surname and she will be taken care of by her mom only. While he says that it is a tradition that kids always have their dad’s surname. Several months later, his wife informed him that she had already decided to divorce him. Case 2 Mrs. Deng got married one year ago. Now she is pregnant. She requires that her baby will follow her surname. If her husband doesn’t accept it, she will abort baby. Well, her husband refused her requisition. Then she goes to the hospital to abort her baby. As a result, her husband divorced her. If you are a dad in a Chinese family, will you compromise and let your kid follow your wife’s surname? [/quote]
