Divorce in Modern China. New York Times August 22, 1994
By SETH FAISON
c.1995 N.Y. Times News Service
BEIJING - For centuries, ordinary Chinese have greeted each other on the street with a question that reflected the nation's primary concern: ``Chi le ma?'' or ``Have you eaten?''
Now, according to a popular joke in Beijing, people who see a friend on the street voice a new concern with a new question: ``Li le ma?'' - ``Have you divorced?''
In China, where rapid economic growth is creating new hopes and fears and where government interference in personal lives is receding daily, many Beijing residents say one of the most profound changes in their society is the surge in divorce.

A girl's life
Boys are generally breast-fed longer. In many cultures, women and girls eat leftovers after the men and boys have finished their meals.
Women are often hospitalized only when they have reached a critical stage of illness, which is one reason so many mothers die in childbirth. Female children often are not hospitalized at all. A 1990 study of patient records at Islamabad Children's Hospital in Pakistan found that 71 percent of the babies admitted under age 2 were boys. For all age groups, twice as many boys as girls were admitted to the hospital's surgery, pediatric intensive care and diarrhea units.

Women in China: Past and the Present
Compiled from various sources, including Compton's Living Encyclopedia on America Online (August 1995), The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The San Jose Mercury.
MODERN CHINESE SOCIETY AND THE FAMILY [Compton's]
Traditionally the family has been the most important unit of society, and this is still true. The family is also an important economic unit. In rural areas, where about 74 percent of China's people live, the traditional family consisted of the head of the household, his sons, and their wives and children, often living under one roof. Common surnames gave families membership in a clan. In some villages all families had the same surname, or four or five surname clans might account for most of the villagers.

THE BURDEN OF WOMANHOOD: THIRD WORLD, SECOND CLASS
Washington Post , April 25, 1993
By JOHN WARD ANDERSON AND MOLLY MOORE
When Rani returned home from the hospital cradling her newborn daughter, the men in the family slipped out of her mud hut while she and her mother-in- law mashed poisonous oleander seeds into a dollop of oil and forced it down the infant's throat.
As soon as darkness fell, Rani crept into a nearby field and buried her baby girl in a shallow, unmarked grave next to a small stream.

The increasing divorced rate relates much to the change, namely man -wife relationship families will replace the parenthood families.
