新生兒隨母姓獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)1000元

Yahoo.com:Chinese parents are being offered cash rewards to give their newborn children the mother's last name, in an unusual attempt to address the traditional preference for sons.

Women who marry in China keep their own surnames, but their children almost invariably take the father's name and ensure its continuation into the next generation.

Jianghuai Morning Post reported now officials in Changfeng county in the eastern province of Anhui are giving 1,000 yuan ($162) to couples who take part in the "surname reform" plan.

They hope the move will help to gradually change the common perception that giving birth to a son is preferable to having a daughter, it said, and nearly 30 couples have already volunteered.
