“Zao sheng guizi”: the pressure of having babies in a Chinese family – Humour
www.speakingofchina.com — Sometimes, I cannot believe I married into a Chinese family. That’s not because I regret it. I don’t, because I love my Chinese husband with all my heart, and I love his family too. It’s just ironic, on a personal level. Here I am, a girl who never had a strong “maternal instinct” or drive to have children, in a family and culture that sees pregnancy and birth as a prerequisite, instead of an elective.
