I have not the right to cut off my family line while a female child can be made use of to bridge over the dilemma. The question that confronts me now is that of saving the heir to the ancestral line. There are three things of which a su- perior man stands in awe; first, he stands in awe of the ordinances of heaven; second, he stands in awe of the words of the sages ; third, he stands in awe of the customs of his ances- tors. All these things compel me to protect my family shrine. To do so. Thy ...brother must receive first consideration. It is to him that we look for the preservation of the family tomb ; it is to him that the spirits of our ancestors look for the perpetuation of the family name. " Thus spoke Ching Fo and right royally did his little daughter answer him: H4 THE THIRD DAUGHTER "Father dear, do not look so sad! I know that, having been born a girl, I am only a bur- den in such a time as this and whatever you think best I shall willingly accede to. It is ordained by the Gods that women shall be slaves and I may as well obey a master as to obey the mother-in-law to whom I should have owed my services had I been married to Ting Ho.
