- I was also intrigued by the idea of not being considered an individual until you have fulfilled a number of responsibilities/reached certain milestones. This reminds me a lot about how being a woman is defined in Latin American cultures and on some level, even in American cultures. There is always the idea that a woman is not entirely fulfilled until she is married and has children because it is simply not enough to be unmarried and single. With the growing cost of living, being single and childless seems to be a growing trend in China and it seems that even today, Chinese society continues to play with the idea that an individual is not full until certain milestones are reached.
