Chapter 29 a father and a mother

While traveling in the United States, a friend told me a true story. His child went to kindergarten, and the American classmate sitting next door asked the child, "Do you have a father and mother?" The child said, "Yes!" "So, how many parents do you have?" the American classmate asked again. "I only have one father and one mother!" said the friend's child. The American classmate laughed: "I have five fathers and three mothers! You Chinese have the fewest parents, how pitiful!" The friend's child felt deeply insulted and protested to his parents when he came back: "Why don't you marry more mothers? Don't you marry more fathers?"

Friends told this incident as a joke, which is enough to reflect the mix of marriages in Western society.I said to my friend: "This is not just a problem in the United States. The chaos and complexity of marriage is the same in Taipei. As long as we read novels and TV dramas in Taipei, we will be very clear." The life and civilization of a father and a mother are gradually disintegrated in the world. In what direction will society go? I think it's better to be a traditional person. A father and a mother are the happiest.
