Now here's a dialogue reviewing the material on this tape.
Tom and Li Ping are visiting in Hong Kong.
Li Ping, Tom, and Li Ping's classmate from Taiwan, Wang Cheng,
have just gone to the movie The Dream of the Red Chamber.
On their way home, they chat.
Tom,你怎么不说话?对不起,看这个电影实在让人不舒服,特别是看到那个地方,
哪个地方?就是待遇死的时候.
对了,待遇死的时候正是保育结婚的时候,看到这里真是让人很不舒服.
你们有没有注意到很多女的看到这个地方都哭了?
我看到了,有的时候我真的不明白,
为什么很多书里还是说中国传统的大家庭有不少好处?
好处在哪里?为了保持大家庭的传统,让年轻的一代或者几代吃那么多苦。
这就是大家庭的好处吗?
大家庭的好处现在不多了,你们知道中国的大家庭跟历史有关系,
中国过去是农业社会,生产都要靠人力,谁家的劳力多,谁家的生活就会好一点。
李平,你想是不是这样呢?是,是这样的,那么现在情情不同了,现在工商业发达了,
为什么还有人说大家庭好呢?
大家庭的观念已经有几千年的历史了,
要改变它需要比较长的时间,大陆的情形我不清楚,
台湾的情形是大家庭越来越少了,
虽然中国人喜欢大家庭,觉得大家住在一起不相有照顾,
但是工商也发达了,工作的机会多了,小家庭也就越来越多了。
现在大家庭越来越少,早婚的风俗也就没有了。
早婚和大家庭有什么关系吗?
有关系,这主要是劳力的问题。
你想早婚早有孩子,家里劳动力多,老人也就可以早一点得到照顾。
可是在工商业社会里,多数老人都有收入,
现在台湾已经是工商业社会,这样的问题也就没有了。
但是你别忘了,大陆还是农业社会,
照顾老人的问题还是大问题,早婚的风俗也还是有。
你大概弄错了吧,大陆的政府怎么会同意人们早婚呢?
我说的是农村,什么早婚啊,中南亲女啊,
这种事总是和经济不发达有关系的。
我是在不喜欢早婚,我想多数早婚的人后来的生活都有点问题。
特别是妇女。
对了,我听说过这样一种说法,中国妇女没有结婚以前要听父母的,
结了婚得听丈夫的,丈夫死了得听儿子的。
请问,中国妇女什么时候才能有他们自己的想法,什么时候才能有一点自由呢?
哦,现在没有人讲这些了。
虽然没有人讲,可是这种传统思想还是有啊。
你说的也有道理,还是那句话,几千年的老观念不是很快可以改变的。
嗯,不过我想大陆也好,台湾也好,几十年来都有了很大的改变,
妇女的地位也都有了提高,传统的观念也在变。
嗯,这一点我同意。
好,我们到家了,王城进去坐坐吧。
好,进去一下。
