We didn't see very many little girls during our time in China. It's still a big deal in China to have a boy so the family name is carried on. This little girl was sitting on her grandmother's lap in the Hutong area we visited. I just wonder who all these boys are going to marry someday. I asked our guide a couple of times about the practice of aborting a fetus if the parents found out they were having a girl. She kept saying we would talk about that at another time, which turned out to be never.
