This is a story of a woman that has dedicated her life for the betterment of the rural Chinese woman. As you will read, she has made some very bold statements against her government. Why do you suppose the Chinese government has not silenced her?

This is a puzzling one and it is hard to say why they haven't silenced her. The only thing I can think of is they have let her continue for to long and don't really dare to put an end to it now. Since she has been in the Western press it would look bad if they were to shut her down now. Also the other part is they may let her go on because in some poor twisted way they want her to improve the right of women. But then again what do I know.

That sounds very plausible Corbin. I think that she must have some sort of "divine" protection.

A very brave woman indeed... Hopefully she will inspire a new generation of women's activists to emerge in China...

Only time will tell, but with this one child per family law will the new generations rise up to this or will they be spoiled?

I think it will be a long time before the rural children will be spoiled. I have learned a lot about the rural women of China from my wife as this was her saga. Xie's biggest concern is with the rural women's mentality of being slaves to their men and families. My wife didn't take too kindly to this as she struck out on her own sleeping in the streets and not having enough clothes to wear as she only had what was on her back. She had left her child with her mother as she went searching for work. Haihua was a very hard worker as she grew up on a farm and at the age of 7 she began working to earn the 1 dollar a week that paid for her to go to school. After her child was born her husband divorced her and the China court ordered that the child remain with the mother until the age of 6. The commies had destined her future as a rice salesperson but she would have no part of this. This was the life that her parents had lived and she was not going to do it.

She found a job working in a clothes factory in which she worked very hard. Her boss saw that she was good at this job and gave her money so she could buy clothes and have a place to stay. She took the place to stay but she did not buy her any clothes. Instead she gave the rest of the money to her mother and her child. Her boss saw that she kept wearing the same soiled clothes everyday and asked her why she did not buy any clothes. She told him that her baby needed money instead. Her boss must have been a very smart man as he gave her more money and gave her a supervisor position. Haihua was a very determined young woman and she worked very hard. She saved her money, gave to her mother and child, and bought herself clothes.

From that point on she knew she could make it on her own and never have to be a slave to any man.

As per the court order she had to give her child to her exhusband and she could not see him again until her son was 15 years old. I was in Haihua's life then and believe me it was very heart wrenching when she got to see him again.

I applaud Xie's efforts greatly as the rural women of China are great women and are the true backbone of Chinese society. There WILL come a day when they will truly "hold up half the world." Chairman Mao's words were only that, just words.

Xie's vision will become reality. I firmly believe this is why she hasn't been silenced!!

Because most of the contents deal with how to enjoy sex.

This makes me wonder what Ada's life was like before she left her home home town Dazhou in the Sichuan province. Though I think she may have had a better life than some because her father worked in government and her one brother is a police man. Though this may not mean anything at all.

I'm sure she will share it with you when she is ready.

Chawls, you've got a gem with Haihua...man...what she has been through, as with many other of CFLer's women.

 

You know, it's always been a mystery to me. Why has the woman always been looked down upon through the ages. Yes, man could throw a spear and kill each other real well...but who had the REAL brains...and who really did the work????

 

It certainly wasn't man. Man, just had a woman, knowingly, rolling her eyes, and "telling" man how smart he was

 

When I first met the lil' rabbit, we started talking about our lives, and she told me about how she grew up and lived within Chinese society, I quickly started understanding that I may have met a Chinese Gloria Steinam (women's libber)...and inwardly and outwardly I applauded her.
