About one thousand years ago, a young girl who named ZhuYingtai, lived a small village, Zhujiazhuang, Shangyu, Zhejiang. ZhuYingTai was a beautiful elegant and very smart girl. She was fond of reading and loved to attend school. But in her time women were not allowed to go outside and acquire an education. Although Zhu was the only daughter of his parent, she didn't get his father's permission to travel to Hangzhou to attend school. Zhu felt so disappointing which made her ill. In the end Zhu's father gave in and agreed her to go to Hangzhou to attend school but she have to disguised (dressed) her self as a man. That means she have to pretend to be a man to go outside.

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?

People refer a man who is afraid of his wife as henpecked. Philosopher Socrates says, If your wife is kind, you are lucky; if your wife is evil, you will become a philosopher. Ha ha, I guess this is why Socrates is the greatest philosopher.

I got my PMP result on 25th, April. Although I passed the exam on 24th, March, but 3M2B score gave me a thump. I’m a team head, lead 7 members. My classmates were relied on me and another boy who were thought the best students by them. Someone asked me taking them to go to Hu Bei University every weekend. I called them together 4 times. We tided over the last three week-ends in cold class-room in Hu Bei University. A boy read PMBOK twice, had never done any exercises before the last three week-ends. He had to do these exercises on the last evening before our meeting, and even not finished all the exercises until we started discuss them next day. After our meeting, his emotion always came from top to low. He always expected our meetings on week-end, relied on high-hands giving him information about these exercises solutions. In the end, he got 2P3M score.

古老的神话说，女人是男人身上的肋骨；中国作家张贤亮在他的书中写：男人的一半是女人。 女人常说男人是我们不了解的另一种生物，不知道男人的心里在想什么。事实我们也并不想知道那么多，只要知道这个男人爱我就足够了。

As you will know if you are a regular reader of the profiles on this site, many of the women describe themselves as traditional Chinese woman (传统中国女性). The word can evoke different responses from different people. I got an interesting perspective on it the other day from a friend, the Chengdu poet Liao Hui, during one of our bi-weekly languages exchanges, which are rapidly becoming my favorite part of being in Chengdu.

The monotone and noise in the cities will make people feel there is no way to escape. So it's better to leave the house and go into the mountains! There you must experience special quiet and cool charm. I am very lucky to live near the mountains. What I like to do in the mountains is:

It’s a nice day here today, sunny and warmer in the day. Now sitting in my teaching center, I can smell the vegetables and flowers from the garden from five meters away. It is so quiet at night. Are there any frogs in it? I am wondering….

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.

My Chinese friend has just bought a car - and I have been reticent to ride in it with her because, to be honest, I am a terrible backseat driver. Now, I don't claim to be an excellent driver - but I have had 20-odd years experience driving cars, trucks, buses, motorbikes, tractors and a multitude of motorized farm equipment, so I have a few years up on my friend (licensed 1 month ago).

“What are you doing after Christmas?” inquired Amy. I wasn’t going back to the USA then in 2007, nor have I been back any Christmas, or any other time in five years. My curiosity was up since I had not spoken to her in months.

I've been having an interesting conversation ’off-blog’ with a CLM lady about what is a ’typical' or a ’traditional’ Chinese lady - it is quite passionately personal in nature so I am loath to share too much lest I break her trust in the conversation but an interesting point came up about ’tradition’ and ’culture' in which my correspondent described her condition as a case of the “Emperor’s New Clothes”.

After meeting Vivinia and JoJo, I made the requisite phone call telling Vivinia how nice it was to meet them the previous night. Vivinia would be returning to Australia in a few weeks, so I had my sights set more on JoJo with her near zero English. There was little expectation on my part I would see either of them again, until two days later when my phone rang.

First let me apologize for my lack of blogs. My gong fu students wish to expand so unfortunately I am in the USA at the moment overseeing the expansion of my martial arts business. However this period of me being back in the US has only reaffirmed my opinion that real Chinese women are light years ahead of American women, and even westernized or nontraditional Chinese girls.
