Chinese couple named 9 daughters Brother to have a son (4 photos)

A Chinese couple wanted a son so badly (the continuer of the family line according to Chinese tradition), that they named each of their daughters with a name with the hieroglyph "di", which literally means "brother".





Some "brothers" are already aunts

Why do they need a son so much

Many people know that according to tradition in China, the daughter leaves home, and the son supports the parents in old age. There is even an old saying: "There is a saying that a daughter given away in marriage is like water thrown out." This was the reason for the abortion of girls during the "one family - one child" program.

Now this program has been canceled, so a large family in a village in Huai'an, Jiangsu Province does not refuse girls. But they really want a boy - for 20 years, during which time the mother managed to give birth to 9 daughters.

So, are they all brothers?



Note, there is the same hieroglyph everywhere

Yes, but different. Because you can't name all the children identically, they were given names with a fraternal hieroglyph.

Their father, whose last name is Ji, is now 81 years old, so with each passing year, dreams of a son are becoming more and more illusory. Moreover, he is an ordinary farmer who needs to feed everyone.

It must be admitted that he does not deprive his daughters of attention, he does everything so that they receive a good education.





And this is another mother from China who gave birth to a child for each zodiac sign (apparently she tests astrology empirically)

The eldest daughter is 60 years old and her name is Zhaodi, which means "asking for a brother." The second daughter is Pandi, and the third is Wanddi, both meaning "waiting for a brother." They are followed by Xiandi, which means "thinking about brother," Laidi, which translates as "brother's arrival," Yi or "greet brother," and Nyandi, which means "missing brother."

The most striking name belongs to the eighth daughter, Choudi, which means "to hate brother", which shows the despair of the parents towards their son. In her honor, they named their youngest daughter Mandy, which means "dream of a brother".

Of course, people treat themselves with humor, with self-irony. If you do not know the translation of the names, they sound very beautiful - Laidi, just a song.

"Even though we are daughters, our parents have always loved us very much. They have never treated us badly. Now our big family lives happily together," said Xiandi (the one who thinks about her brother).



Sisters in national clothes have gone viral on social networks, the Chinese love this

Moreover, the perception of daughters is gradually changing, especially with the high ransoms for daughters in recent years in China. So they help the parental family quite well with this money.

In March, thanks to Xiangdi's videos, all of China learned about this funny family from the provinces. Everyone wrote to them: "You gave up too early, the tenth would definitely have been a boy."
