When learning about Chinese culture, I expected to see many different things. I was not disappointed to find out it was true. I knew boys were wanted more than girls but I never expected the parents to abandon their child like that if it was not the one they desired. I can't even imagine how hard it was for the girls but watching the movie, "The King of Mask", brought some light into my world. The hardships the girls have to go through just to survive each and every day.
The way things are passed down in the family also has to do with the boys. I know they want the males to pass on the family name but why can't the women be taught as well? Its a new a bizzare experience for me. There are many questions I still have from watching the movie.

I agree with your reactions or thoughts to the movie too. I also believe that why can't the girls also be taught.
Thank goodness in the end of the movie--this is exactly what the king of masks discovers...girls can carry on the family traditions too!
