time
tradition
said,
“T
he
man
plows,
the
woman
weaves;
the
man
is
responsible for important
decisions, the woman for housework.”
This began to change
in
China
in the 1950s
when
New China
was
just
founded
and equality between
men
and
women was encouraged.
千百年来围着
锅台转的家庭妇女被当作强大的人力资源解放出来参加社会生产。
Women chained to the kitchen sink in

important

resources and liberated to take part in
social construction.

妇女与丈夫共同承担起供养家

今天承担家务的一些男人还在怀念昔日以男子为中心的年代。
那时，

回家，
热腾腾的晚餐已摆好在桌上，
妻子儿女围上来问寒问暖；
家中大事小事多
由
自己作主，因为男人作为一家之主承担了全家经济生活的来源。
Some
men
who
have
to
deal
with
the
household
chores
still
miss
the
good
old
days
when the man was the center
of the family
.
At
that
time
when
the
husband
came
home
from
work,
he
was
greeted
with
a
delicious meal and the
warm greetings of his wife and
children.
Moreover,
everything
in
the
family,
big
or
small,
was
decided
by
the
husband,
because
he
held
the
purse
strings.
妇女
走出家门就业
后，
男人的供养职责相对
减少，
在家庭的地位也变得不像从前
那么举足轻重了

After
women
began
to
take
jobs

society
,
men?s
responsibility
for
family
support was reduced
and their status in the family was no longer so
dominant.

wife,
the
husband
shouldered
less
responsibility

夫妻双方都有职业，
在社会化服务并
不发达的中国，
繁重的家务事自然应落在夫
妻二人身上。

Household
tasks
should
reasonably
be
shared

the
husband

both have jobs in China

social service not so
developed.

reasonably
share
the
