Hiya,
It has been a week since i moved to Shanghai. Can someone explain the mystery of the torn /split trousers of the kids with no underwear? Apparently they are not wearing those because they are poor - their parents look wealthy. An idea pops in my head, but my brain cells denies it. Is it all about what i am guessing??

Yes, I can confirm your worst fears. It's so the kids can pee / poo freely.
I gotta say those pants do look comfortable though. I'm thinking about getting some myself to wear around home.

Chinese are cheaper than Jews, and diapers are an expensive waste of money, so is cleaning and paying a high water bill for cleaning cloth diapers.
If it's not necessary, don't buy it, copy software, copy books, run pipes along the wall, not in the wall, wash everything dishes and clothes always in cold water, leave the tap dripping every night to get more free water, etc. so many things, too much to write.
Ebenezer Scrooge is a saint and Jews are devote followers of Mother Teresa in comparison to China.
Stiggs:
I don't think diapers were ever used in China until recently, they're a foreign (Western?) thing.
For the last 5000 years Chinese kids have probably been rocking the split pants which might have something to do with Chinese adults refusing to go barefoot and even wearing slippers in the home.

free fertilizer for the peasant farms has worked well in India and China for thousands of years, why they still do it in the city, grandparents from the farm come to the city with their customs to raise the kids to be good citizens.
ScotsAlan:
Yup. When my wife was a kid, farmed out to the grandparents farm, her job was to spread the poo on the garden. Cheaper than Jews. I have never heard that term before. I need to look that up.

My father said Jews were so cheap and tight with money that they would make Abraham Lincoln's face on a one cent penny cry and rust the copper coin.
Because kids don't know how to take of their trousers properly and will poop on their pants. Don't you have any common sense? Why is there such a stupid question? What did you wear when you were a kid? Unbelievable. Must be a troll.
iWolf:
OP's name appears to be Chinese or it may be a Japanese diminutive like 'Xiao' here in China. In any case, it's a click-bait question. Have a unicorn thumb.
Hotwater:
In developed countries we use nappies until our children are “potty trained” to know when they need a piss or a shit. They then get helped to take their pants down until their old enough to do it themselves.
In China I’ve seen families telling their kids to puss where their stood when THERE US A TOILET 10 METERS BEHIND THEM!
Ive also seen kids wearing the split arse pants WHILE ALAO WESRING A NSPPY! Why?
From a reasonably young age kids can be taught self control & using toilets but that needs an effort from parents & grandparents...
The question i want an answer to is: Can you buy them in Large size?
Going commando with those beauties in summer would be emancipating!
iWolf:
It may be a little sweaty in the Eastern Expanse but I can work with that.

Certainly, you can ...
Just get a scissors .. and-o cut the ones you are wearing ...
Make sure, you'll chose the right coordinates and ... not cut them on frontal ...
Maybe, I should take out the patent for this 'how-to ....'
For allowing ease of pee and poo elimination from the corresponding orifices of the little pig men without need for taking off or changing said trousers
It is so they can pee and poo freely, or because the parents are too lazy to change a diaper.
They're great. I sport a pair when hanging around the house on my day off. It makes life so much easier. Things get weird when the meituan guy turns up with my food though.
You must be well out into the suberbs of Shanghai to have seen that. The splits pants were all over GZ just a few years back but they are mostly gone now.
I think it was fear of skid marks on metro seats that put an end to them here.
The party promotes tradition, but it fears it at the same time. The Party wants traditional Chinese with Party charateristics.. Not traditional with face losing peasant characteristics.
Before I came to China I had no concept of peasants. Wow.
Split pants are a peasant thing. Being phased out in the cities it seems.
Whoa my comment got harmonized?
I just said that I wear split pants at home and I get deleted?
I see that my weird man-baby lifestyle choices aren't accepted here.
If it's a war between my making inappropriate comments and someone deleting them then game on.

Yes, I had a friend who had to give up cross dressing because the heels would not hold up 110 kgs and no sizes above 40, even the ammo boxes were to small for his feet
Stiggs:
That's weird, wolf and I both joked about wearing them too. I wouldn't have thought anyone would get their (open bum) panties in a bunch over it.
This is a practice at most of the family with elderly take care their kid. The elderly believe this kind of trouser is convenience for kid to pee and poo without considering the negative impact of hygience and health.
Someone with the family name Chan asking this sort of question? You must be a banana!
It's a fashion statement. I was rocking it too,,, man, I got the funniest looks!
Stiggs:
My going to bed pants are an old pair of running shorts that the arse and crotch fell out of.
They're probably the most comfortable thing I own.
diverdude1:
I'm just in my skivvies @ nite unless freezin' china winter, then long-johns,,,, but t-shirt I wear in bed I bet worn 5 yrs never washed either,, haha,, most comfortable thing I own. gf said I oughta wash it,,, girls are weird, haha.
