The Little Nyonya

The Little Nyonya is a 34-episode drama serial which debuted on 25th November 2008. I must say, it is a splendid drama serial.

It shows us that the world has civilized since the 1930s. Especially women during that era and this era. As a synopsis, The Little Nyonya tells the story of three generations of a Nyonya family. Besides that, it shows how women were abused by men during that time, which is a sad thing. It is as though their lives were destined to marry, be it an arranged marriage or not.

There is this girl, Huang Yuzhu, who was forced to marry a rich businessman, Robert Zhang. Long story short, she was violated by him, forced to obey his every commands without a change to speak her mind. And that people, is a terrible thing. It really saddened me that there a men like this who exists in this world. Men who think they have the right to do whatever they want to us women just because they are stronger. Fortunately, the world has changed and women now are treated as an equal.

Two other characters, Huang Juxiang and her daughter, Yueniang is what inspired people the most. Both showed that women should not be tied down by men. They believe that women have the rights to determined their lives.

It really is a great show, although a lot of people will cry watching it..
