My Comment
About this book, It's a story which happened in China. The character, Mr. Wenqing, who hopes that he could get a son, but he gets five daughters!! For asking one more chance by her wife, he trusts her wife again or else he will find another woman. Unlucky, the sixth child is also a daughter!! Oh, her husband really angry this time. The following year, she entered her seventh pregnency again. Finally, she got a son!! But the son is died.
After reading this story, I feel that I am quite sympathy to the wife. I hope that we can't like the character Mr.Wenqing, because he's always force her wife to do this and that.
