According to a news report, the divorce rate in China has been increasing ever since the start of 21st century. In some large cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai, the divorce rate is as much as 39%. Some people say that this is a social improvement in that people now are free to get married and divorced. Others argue that this is a moral setback as Chinese people tend to believe in life-long commitment to marriage. What is your opinion? Write an essay of about 400 words. You should supply an appropriate title for your essay.

Divorce Is Not Shameful
"And they live happily ever after! " This sweet-sounded sentence is a happy ending commonly found in western fairytales and is echoed by traditional Chinese belief in life-long commitment to marriage. The soaring divorce rate in modern China, however, indicates the seismic change of people’s attitude towards marriage. This change, as I see it, is more positive than negative.
Firstly, the rising divorce rate, to a certain extent, testifies to the freedom that Chinese people, especially women, enjoy in family matters. Traditionally, getting married, having kids and being divorced were predominately presided by men Women had very little say in whom they loved or walking out of a miserable marriage. That was why many women in old China suffered from a protracted torture when their husbands were switching between mistresses. Thanks to the liberation of women, they now enjoy much more freedom than decades ago. The rising divorce rate is a hard evidence to demonstrate that many women now are brave enough to stand up against their disloyal husbands.
Secondly, the changing mindset about divorce indicates that the society is more tolerant than ever before. Divorce was avoided in old China, because it was considered as disgrace to a family. This is no longer the case, because people now understand that there are many reasons leading up to a divorce, such as having an affair and that the couples simply do not get along. In the latter situation, no one should be blamed and people around them should not be condescending and point their fingers to the incompatible couples, calling them shameful. This would only add insult to the injury. On the contrary, we ought to respect their choice and encourage them to move on. This is what a tolerant society must do, not sticking to a uniform principle and ordering couples to be chained to each other.
While I am in support of free divorce, I am not encouraging people to resort to divorce as a convenient option in solving all family matters. Instead, we should try to honor the lifelong commitment we made and put the damages caused to kids, if any, into perspectives. Ending a marriage for no valid reasons is beyond doubt irresponsible and heartless. This is the real moral decline we should be cautious of.
In conclusion, the increasing divorce rate in China indicates the freedom and tolerance we enjoy. Not all Chinese couples can live happily ever after, but some of them deserve a second chance to make that wish come true.
