This is a marriage brought about by a name. Is it a disastrous romance or a beautiful tale? Read on, dear readers.
The story behind his name is a complicated one, carrying the hopes of several generations. The Chen family has never had a girl born into it, generation after generation, so every daughter-in-law in the family takes pride in giving birth to a girl. Because in the Chen family, having a girl is more important than anything else!!!!
The old master believed that the reason girls were so rare was simply that no one had picked a name for one in advance. If they chose a name first, perhaps a girl would come along. So Old Master Chen puzzled over it all night, then settled on the name "Chen Yi," a name Chen Yi would hate for the rest of her life.
The story behind her name was much simpler. When Shen's dad and mom discussed what to name their daughter, they couldn't agree at all, so they decided to let her choose for herself. She picked the character "Er."
There was nothing wrong with the name Shen Er, but she just had to end up alongside Chen Yi from kindergarten all the way through university, which made her school life a tragedy.
