Wang Lung’s marriage preparations reflect his social standing.
What do you think about social classes?
Should people spend outside their means for special occasions?

Why does Wang Lung struggle so much with the thought of having a plain wife? Unbound feet? Do

this still true today? They also complain about spending and the food – why? Are those good enough
reasons?
4.
List the things that Wang Lung is impressed with in his new wife.
5.
How is sex perceived in this first chapter?
6.
What do you think about set gender roles in the home? Should the wife work the kitchen? Should the
man support his family financially? Have roles shifted today? If
