I have to give you a Chinese lesson in order for this story to work. There are 5 essentials in the cycle of life maturation, each of which, in Chinese ends with the character “dze”.
Hence the name 5 “dze”. They are 'Jin dze, che dze, fang dze, chi dze, er dze.' They mean, respectively, money, car, house, wife, child. This sequence is drilled into boys, hoping that they will get the sequence right.
And, in retrospect, this is very practical. If one has a child before a spouse, he/she will have less time to dedicate to the child. The burden of a child is best shared by 2 parents. If one doesn't have money first, then it is not possible to buy fuel for the car. This sequence is developmental, each one setting the stage for the next.
So, I wonder, why it is that with such brilliant sequencing of the stages of development of a family, I wonder why it is that so many Taiwan young women/girls have unprotected sex on first date?
