[speaker]
Leftover women in China refer to women over 25.  The author of Never get married before age 30 argues that women are taught to go to good college and find a good job before mid-20, but after that parents urge them to focus more on how to become a good wife and mother. The situation for leftover women is worsen, and schools have classes of teaching how to get married.

Explain why Chinese women are empowered in the workfield.compared literate rate between Indian women and Chinese women.
Time5 - 3'18 [455w]
The communists challenged gender inequality, but merely to promote productivity. As a result, Women need to both work and do housework. And still, male preference exists, supported by the sex ratio of 110+ boys to 100 girls.
Time6 - 3'15 [468w]
The market-oriented policies China adopted is creating new forms of gender inequality, because real estate is so expensive that young people ususally seek for parents' assitance but only male have managed to do so.

[obstacle]15'33
main idea: Chinese women are suffering from new forms of gender inequality such as called leftover once over 27
attitude:seriously concerned
structure:
   1)Chinese women are urged to get married earlier or they are called 'leftover'. Actually there are more leftover man partly because the sex ratio and partly because educated women are more picky.
   2)The coercion of Chinse women into marriage is troubling economic consequences in two ways:
     #1.real state normally under the name of the husband, ignoring women's contribution in buying a house
     #2.employment rate of working women is dropping
   3) more about real state
     Parents financially assist their son to buy a house. Women have no private house without parents' help.
    The New Marriage Law that is thought to promote gender equality states that houses belong to the name registered, which derive women's rights to own the house if they get divorced.
    3) domestic violence
    Laws against domestic violence are weak. In China women are discouraged to report abuse, and marital rape is not condered a crime. Women's personal safety are not effectively protected.
    However, there are some inspiring stories in Fincher's book. For example, Kim lee, Li Yang's wife, was abused by Li for a long time, and reported to the public despite being threatened by Li and other men. Finally she get divorced, although an attorney said Lee got fewer assets than supposed.
    4) Fincher's book also include other stories of women fighting against sexism

Speaker: Leftover women
         In China women at the age of middle 20s who have not get married are called "leftover women". Chinese government
         has officially admitted the new name. The host said although China is a communist country, people care much about
         money and women will not marry a man who doesn't have money.
time2: 1min 18"
       The author's impression of China and Beijing before she came to China. But China is no longer the way westeners
       painted. The author came to a conclusion that Chinese women were an empowered lot.
time3: 1min 52"
       The author felt safe and free of judgment as she checked into hotel rooms and boarded trains in remote villages
       across China. But she was repeatedly asked "What are you doing here?". When she answered that her husband was in
       Beijing, one of the questioners. then felt relieved.
time4: 2min 10"
       The gap between India and China on gender issues was brought home in a myraid of unexpected ways. The rate of
       female labour force participation and Chinese women literacy are much higher than those of India. But male preference
       was strong in both cultures since girl children were seen as belonging to their future husbands.
time5: 3min 10"
       The modern challenging of gender norms in China owed much to the country's Communist revolution. But the author
       thought it's debatable how much the lives of women actually improved under the authoritarian. The sex ratio of
       China is higher than that of India. Prostitution is thriving in China. And China's vaunted female labour force
       participation was also declining.
time6: 3min 19"
       The market-oriented policies China was in the process of adopting had created new forms of inequality was
       egregiously obvious. Patriarchal notions underlying property and inheritance have resulted in an exclusion of
       women from this real estate party.
rest: 3min
      Despite the fact that women often contribute to down payments and mortgage instalments on apartments out of their
      salaries, women do not become wealthy in the manner of their hushands.
Obstacle: 9min 48"
      The serious situation women and leftover women are facing in China.
      Although the sex ratio is imbalanced in China, the problem of leftover women is much more severe than "leftover men".
      The Chinese social culture and new marital law have made women in a worse situation in owning real estate. Parents
      with a daughter often feel unnecessary to buy an apartment for their daughter but will support their nephew. Also
      Chinese married women are often actively discouraged from reporting abuse. They are often expected to solve the
      problem at home and hide the family ugliness. The author gave an example of Li Yang and his wife.

2/
Image of Beijing.
A fact that cannot denied: the Chinese women are empowered, women are active in public space and kinds of positions.

3/ I have been asked about my inention in China for several times unless I told people my husband live in Beijing.

4/   Gap between China and India on gender. Eg: CII ecperience: a lot of female officials.
Data support: 67% women labor force in  China,  36% in India, illeteraty rate in China: 13%， 36% in India.  In 2008, 95% literacy rate in China.

Denial education to women is strong against women. China is a baby of gender equality.

Samilarities between C and I: women are belonging of Man’s  male preference.  Evidence: feet binding in China.

5/ challenge of gender can be attributed to Maozedong and Communist revolution. Women can own land.

But the equality is debatable: how much do Women’s condition increase?  The intention is to increase productivity instead of enhance women’s choice. Now male doesn’t accompany the increase of women labor force. Many women still take all housework.

One child policy   sex ratio : 117 boy to 100 girls. The situation is worse than India’s.
And there are many requirements for women’s position. The face surgery is booming. Family income increase give the women the right to choose their life. The women labor rate decrease from 74% to 64%.

6/
New imbalances in China: geography, coastal, class.
LHF: gender inequlity is increasing. Women are shut out of property.
Eg: parents spend money to help son buy apartment.

Some argues to separate the name of the house.

R/   W don’t be wealthy as the house price increase.
A new law in 2011:   marital property is not shared.  70% houses are registed with the male’s name  --- > women suffer from divorce.

The reason of W not regiested name:
1.        Real-estate company campaign: marry early.
2.        Government concern: imbalance between sec  unstability

The role of government influence is unique.

However: F fail to show how much belief change is from the Communist. The idea is from a conspiracy theories.

Obstacle:07:19
The subject of the book is thrilling to Chinese women
Leftover women are urged to marry by both public and family because the imbalance in sex ratio
Family members are keen to support male rather than female
Law worsens the situation by property issue and family abuse
The traditional notion prevents women from reporting the violence and no legislation gives supports to this issue
There is one successful case that is appealing of Lee Yang’s wife.
While Lee’s fortunes may be largely concealed
The book ends with the dedicated women who refuse to marry to against the trend, meaning the battle for women is not end.
今天的内容真的好长啊。怎么外国人对中国女人结婚问题这么能讲 - -！
