Chinese Film "Red Lanterns"

We watched the chinese film "Red Lanterns".The film emphasizes the chinese tradition and custom.But I think this tradition and customare old. Chinese people resembles Turkish people in some way. For example a man gets married more than one woman in the film like in our turkish film.
A man gets married a woman than she does not give a baby because she is not fecund.After that this man gets married another woman who is called "KUMA". Maybe he thinks this woman can give birth. especially she should give a son.So he will be continued his generation. These happen in our tradition and custom.
But in the film the chinese man gets married in summers.Although he has a son from his first wife he continue to marry to another women.This man does not esteem the women He and men like this men see the women like object. I think our people esteem women more than the chinese people.
Maybe this kind ofevents do not happen now in China.And nowadays in our country this events lessen. Maybe in future marriage with more than one woman will have stopped.
