Unfortunately, the bit here about gender roles rings very true for New Year in Fujian as well, at least in the bit of the countryside where I usually spend the holiday. The holiday for everyone else seems to be an exceptionally busy time for the matriarch, even though she does all the cooking and cleaning for her adult son and his family throughout the year anyway

Thanks for sharing, Jake. That sounds tough for women in the house really. Hope there would be more discussions around this!
