Chapter 184: Amazing Chinese Women

"Women between the ages of 25 and 55 are not only professionals, not only to earn money to support their families, not only to fight against colleagues, bosses, subordinates, customers and other people in society, but also to raise and educate children. ”

"Let's take a look at the statistics again, the labor force participation rate of women in other countries. ”

"The labor force participation rate of women in Australia and New Zealand is only 60%, the labor force participation rate of French women is only 50%, and the labor force participation rate of American women is only 58%. ”

"Chinese women are the most ambitious women in the world, with 76 percent of Chinese women wanting to hold the highest positions, compared to 52 percent in the United States. ”

"Chinese women, while taking on the responsibility of having children, go out early and return late, crawling around, in factories, schools, enterprises, and even on construction sites, wherever there are men, they take on responsibilities that are not inferior to men, they try their best to maintain a family as good as possible, they spend most of the money they get on children and families, they are the same as Chinese men, and even sometimes they can't even consider their gender. ”

"Chinese women are still very impressive, my understanding of Chinese women is not only from this statistics, I have been to China many times, academic exchanges, Dean Zhang also took me to visit some of China's most representative excellent enterprises, but also met a lot of Chinese, there are Chinese men, there are also Chinese women, among my students, there are also many Chinese students. ”

"I am deeply impressed, Chinese young people after 90, more eager to pursue their dreams, they are influenced by Western ideas, with the reform and opening up, with the Internet economy, they can understand the world through mobile phones, changed their concepts, they are eager to go abroad to see how the world is. ”

"Many working women in China, the post-70s and post-80s, have become a generation of middle-aged elites in the workplace, and compared with the down-to-earth and conservative post-50s and post-60s, they have also received higher education. Compared with the post-60s, women in the age group of 25 to 55 years old bear more, and they have to work hard in the workplace and strive for economic independence in order to maintain personality independence and have a say in the family. ”

"The contradiction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a very common contradiction in China, unlike Western families, the constraints of in-laws on children after marriage are much less, Western countries believe that children are adults when they reach the age of 18, and he should be responsible for his own life, rather than relying on his parents for everything, while Chinese parents are in charge of their heads and feet, many overstepping their powers, making their children very unhappy. ”

Qu Lihua nodded, and she agreed with what Professor Abner just said, "I have also read that statistic, we Chinese women are more and more eager for independence, and many media have reported before that Chinese women's sense of independence is getting stronger and stronger, because we all understand that economic independence is the foundation of all independence." ”

"Nowadays, the vast majority of women in China have their own jobs and incomes, and women are not unwilling to be independent, but most of the resources in society are still occupied by masculinism, so women need to spend more times more effort to win social resources from men. ”

"It's really not easy for women, because although China has opened up a lot after the reform and opening up, women can also receive higher education on an equal footing with men, and after graduating from university, they can go to the workplace, rely on their talents and abilities to work hard, and fight for their future. ”

"However, in society, there is still discrimination against women, because women have to have children, and many companies would rather recruit male employees than female employees when recruiting. ”

"Female employees also work fewer hours than men in the workplace, because women have to face the hurdle of childbirth, and many companies do not want to bear the cost of childbirth, but pass on the cost of childbirth to female employees, and if they are pregnant, they will face unemployment. ”

"And unemployed to go home to give birth, October pregnancy, after giving birth, but also to go home for confinement, that is, a year, because of childbirth, you have to lose your job, and the cost of childbirth is borne by the individual. ”

"Because of childbirth, women are in a passive position, if you work hard in your career and postpone the time of childbirth, your in-laws will have opinions on you, and they will show you their faces!"

"Chinese women have to constantly change their roles in many role identities, working women, mothers, wives, daughters-in-law, to deal with all kinds of society, to learn to get along with sons and husbands, and most importantly, to learn to get along with mother-in-law, this is a big test, but also difficult, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seem to be a pair of natural enemies, the family at any time staged 'with you without me, with me without you' ridiculous soap opera. ”

"In a family-oriented community like China, Chinese women are actually the most critical link between the two generations, and they must be trained to have such a high level of emotional intelligence in order to cope with the world. ”

"And now there are more and more Chinese women receiving higher education, post-80s, post-90s, is the younger generation, they have gradually entered middle age, becoming the most powerful business elite in the backbone of society, many female white-collar workers, commonly known as 'workplace white-collar spirit', the recent Internet hot words, but also vividly summarized the characteristics of such female white-collar workers, they have dreams, pursuits, high requirements for themselves, no longer satisfied with relying only on their husbands, look at the face of their mother-in-law life, what they seek is a *** , looking for self-worth, but also longing for economic independence, personality independence, and realization of their own value. ”

"They gradually realize that they are not living for their husbands, in-laws, and parents, but for themselves!"

"So this is the progress of society, and it is also the result that after China's reform and opening up, the economy has taken off and attracted the attention of the world, and at the same time, it is very meaningful for more Chinese women to have a fair opportunity, receive higher education like men, and enter the workplace after graduating from university, realize their personal dreams, and realize their personal values. ”

"If Chinese men have pulled China into the ranks of the world's best, then it is undoubtedly Chinese women who have made China outstanding and developed at a super-speed. ”

"So Chinese women should be respected, women's rights and interests should also be protected by the law, society is progressing, in the family, there are many phenomena, husbands are unhappy at work, home domestic violence of wife and children, wives and children are often in a vulnerable position, want to be protected, it is also very difficult, equality between men and women, really to do, how difficult it is to do!"

"In the future, there is a long way to go, there are still many places to work hard, let us look forward to the protection of women's rights and interests, and more thoughtful, talented, and capable Chinese women can go out of the house, participate in social labor, work hard, and create a better tomorrow, and also hope that every family is harmonious and healthy, this is what we often call the 'Chinese dream', which is the dream of each of us, and requires the efforts of each of us!"
