. Parents and elders still have a greater say in their children's marriage. For example, Qiu Yueye married Ma Baonan under the arrangement of her parents, and her family of origin also continuously interfered in the development of her relationship with Zhou Hongjian.
Second-married women still face certain pressure from public opinion in society. Although social concepts are gradually opening up, some people still have prejudices against second-married women.
Marriage is regarded as a combination of family interests, and factors such as family conditions and economic status play a large role in marriage considerations. For example, Qiu Yueye's parents urged them to get together after learning that Zhou Hongjian's conditions were good.
Gender concept
The phenomenon of favoring sons over daughters is particularly obvious in rural areas. This is the case in Qiuyue Ye's family. Parents invest more resources in sons, and daughters do not get the care and respect they deserve in the family.
Although gender concepts are relatively open in cities, the traditional awareness of gender division of labor still exists, and men are more likely to gain recognition and support in their careers.
Friends often organize gatherings. Such gatherings have become an important way for people to socialize and connect emotionally. They also provide an opportunity for Qiu Yueye and Zhou Hongjian to reunite.
