In ancient China, due to the special nature of agricultural society, male labor played a more important role in families and society. Therefore, many people held the mindset of “favoring males over females.” In a village, there was a family named Zhang who desperately wanted a son to inherit the family business. However, they had three daughters consecutively, which disappointed them greatly and made them neglect their daughters. Until one day, a wise man came to the village and told the Zhang parents that every child was unique and both boys and girls had their own value and contribution. Inspired by the wise man’s words, the Zhang parents began to change their attitude towards their daughters and eventually discovered their unique talents and excellent qualities.
