Expectations of women in Chinese society
There are two special times in China that reflects the expectations of women in Chinese society. One was in the system of feudalism time, another one was in the Communist Party time. During these two times, there was a big change on Chinese women’s status.
In the system of feudalism time in China, women did not have any status. In “wild swans” it said, “The first my grandmother knew of her impending liaison was when her mother broke the news to her a few days before the event. She hated the idea of being a concubine, but her father had already made the decision, and it was unthinkable to oppose one’s parents.” During that time, girls did not have the right to choose their husbands, and they were not allowed to go out to work. Their jobs were doing their best to serve their men, and obey their husband’s mother. Then they would be good wives. But for men, they could have lots of mistresses, for women, they only could have one man in their life. In lots of big families, women were just like “an item of master’s clothing, to be worn, or taken off at will” (rase the red lantern). In this movie, Songlian (the forth mistress) said, “The people in this household are so very insignificant. They are treated like dogs, cats, or rats. They are treated like anything except people.” All these examples highlight that women were expected to be nothing more than servants.
From 1949, China began to be controlled by the Communist Party. There was a big change for women in that society. In “wild swans” it said “women’s federation dealt with women’s affairs, supervised the freeing of concubines and shutting down brothels, organized their ecation and their employment, informed them of their rights, and helped ensure that women were not entering into marriages against their wishes.” Women’s status was rising in that time, and men also began to change their old opinion of women. Lovers could go out together, couples could divorce, and girls could go to school and university just like boys. Women could go out to work. Men and women were getting more and more equal.
The expectations of women in these two times were totally different. Although women and men were still not really equal, it can not be denied that women had more rights than before.
