      It was the girls who got numbered, since Chinese culture valued boys over girls

      if you could provide what those names are id be interested in knowing, i kinda doubt that it would be only for girls

        one of the classics of Chinese literature, Water Margin, opens on a character called Gao the Second because he's the second son of the Gao family (but people gave him the nickname "Gao Qiu" or Gao "the Ball" instead)

          I always am a little sussed by anything that could give even an inch to xenophobia, thanks for proving that once again the Chinese are like everyone else

              yes, but there are many similarities, people like to only highlight certain negative aspects of other cultural groups to otherize them, and a lot of times those negative aspects are over exaggerated or outright false.
