Description

p.s. Any comment is highly appreciated, please do post your opinion or insight or critique. or a favourite perhaps ? :P

A scene where A mother sending her daughter off for a marriage,
and the daughter giving her utmost respect and gratitude by bowing as low as she could.

The last moment when she will cut her family ties, and move into a new family.
A bitter sweet moment for both party.

side note :
In traditional Chinese family, once the girl is married, she will no longer be a part of the parents family.
Therefore, the wellbeing of the bride is solely depends on how her "new family" treats her.

In some cases, the husband's family is lenient enough to let the girl go back to her parents' house from time to time.

But, if not, it is also not uncommon to find abuse and mistreatment in the traditional Chinese family.

That is why every mother usually weep in tears of worry of the leaving of her child moving to a new house.

Thanks for sharing this picture with such an interesting description. I used this pic in my lecture at my university and girls here were impressed about the story.
