I just came across a fascinating article in the most recent edition of
Foreign Policy magazine. Don’t worry, this isn’t some dry treatise on détente or Thom Friedman’s latest paean to globalization. Instead, it is right up the alley of our shared interests and extremely relevant to your pursuits on this website Titled “The Startling Plight of China’s Leftover Women” and written by Christina Larson the essay begins with an interesting conundrum. If men outnumber women in Chinese society, why are there a growing number of unmarried women here?

我在这里是因为我的工作范围很窄，我从事美容行业，平时我所接触的客户和同事大多数都是女性，我无法接触更多的男人。在工作中，我有一些客户通过网络找到了自己的幸福，所以我想试试这个方法。其实在进入这个网站之前，我曾在一个国内的交友网站注册，但是通过交流，我发现大多数中国男人的思想仍然很传统：

An interesting piece of material floated over the Chinese Internet last week, that being Tu Shiyou, the proclaimed ”Goddess of Chastity”.

I was watching a young girl and her foreign boyfriend the other day as I was sitting in a bar - as he was pontificating and espousing to her about every topic in China, she was sitting beside him looking intently, smiling and snuggling - obviously not understanding any viewpoint he had (American political history meets global conspiracy theories and China), I couldn't help but notice it was a match made in indifference - well, intellectual indifference anyway, since she understood “hello - goodbye - how are you” English and he understood “another beer - too expensive - hello sexy girl” Chinese.

A small piece of trivia crossed my path the other day, a few pictures from the ChengDu Police micro blog of eligible young policemen that may be suitable for 'shedding single status' this year...true, about 10 steely-eyed young men, 24-29 years old, each carrying automatic weapons or in poses of ’rushing to assist’ kittens out of trees and old ladies to cross the road... in full riot gear. It somehow had me giggling! Yes, I know that in other countries they do posters/calendars of semi-naked sports stars or local firemen going buff for charity with a strategically placed high-pressure nozzle over the nether-regions, but I haven't really seen the idea of photographing young men at work with the expressed objective of ’marrying them off’. What next, introducing 5 single farmers of the week on CCTV 4 between the news and weather report? Or Bachelors of the PLA between the pictures of them firing guns and driving tanks?

时下，金钱与婚姻似乎成为了一个热议的话题。结婚，需考察对方资本如何？是否能拥有自己梦想的物质生活。离婚，需考虑自己投入多少？（无论财力，物力或是体力）我又能从这次婚变中分割多少财产。

If you read the introductions on CLM, many Chinese women (over the age of 30) will describe themselves as being 'traditional'. Some chinese bloggers have also added a little to the discussion about 'real' Chinese women and 'virtuous' Chinese women through discussion of character and thought patterns.

I was surfing around on the Internet the other day in the area that Peter likes to visit - that tatty rag of a website ChinaSmack... not that I think it is particularly offensive in it's stories - since many of these are 'popular' Chinese postings on the Chinese social media sites - I usually read it to get a picture of the 'tastelessness and crassness' of some of the “foreign” posters - as vindication that staying away from such small-minded people is a very good thing!

The Spring Festival coupling time is on the horizon in China, the time when young people look for the 'boyfriend/girlfriend' so they can return to their hometown with photographs of their prospective mate in a few months time.

Well, it happened! One of my in-China friends got married last weekend in a nice ceremony in a garden in SuZhou. He, and his lovely Chinese partner, managed to howl-down opposition from her parents, her older brother and the next-door neighbor and get married. Although Father seemed happy, Mother definitely wasn't, scouring 95% of the time. And so starts another chapter in the China Book of Life!

If you have been watching the News of The World media tangle/phone hacking scandal in the UK, you may have seen the Chinese wife of Rupert Murdoch, Wendi Deng, defend her husband against a ’cream pie’ attack from a protester with a few well-placed slaps and a lot of gusto.

This question was brought up before by my friends and families. I didn’t give them any answer because I never really thought about it. A few weeks ago, a blogger here asked me this question again.

Ok, so let’s quit with the anthropology heading – I am actually just a casual observer rather than some learned professional so I all my comments are coming from my own personal experience rather than some multi-tome study on China – I am sure people will disagree with some of my views, and I welcome that! And that is a little bit about what my next topic is about, how Chinese women might ‘function’ in a ‘community’ sense.

(This blog post will be more meaningful if you've read the first one...) Ask anyone who has ever been to China and tried to cross the road as a pedestrian or even worse, caught a taxi – rules are irrelevant!!! Well, maybe this is a bit excessive because obviously people do follow a rules or two when driving a car – those are
