What were the traditional reasons Chinese culture placed a high value on children?
In traditional China, children were thought of not as individuals but as members of a family.
Indeed, children were valued because they— especially the sons—would 1) help with the work in the fields, 2) carry on the family name, and 3) care for their parents in old age.
While the book seems to think the concept is an outdated idea, filial piety, deep respect for elders and an obligations to parental wishes are still strong ideals in Chinese culture today. Family ties and the idea of the group/family over the individual are much stronger than in very individualistic Western nations.
