I have no idea about this woman's background-- due to the hollering, I can't make out an accent-- but I assume that she's not from one of the major cities originally. There's been a huge migration of 'nongmin' from the country who are newly urbanized.
The thing about China is that-- before the last 20 years, at least-- the percentage of women who never married was unusually small. Something like 7%. The pressures to get married have always been immense, and the parents (and grandparents) often meddle in the process. Whatever kind of flaccid pressures that white western women say they face ("My mom asked me when she's gonna have a grandkid!!111!! THE PRESSURE TO GET MARRIED IS HORRIBLE!!"), it's a hell of a lot worse in China.
One of my most jarringly amusing memories of traveling around China in the 1990s was being on a 3-day train trip from Guangzhou to Beijing and I met 2 middle-aged women from Yanji, which is a Korean-minority county on the border with the DPRK. It's like a fossilized little premodern Korean community up there. I was 19 or 20 and we were talking. At one point, one of them asked "Are you married?" I'm like "Ahh, no." Very quickly, both of them pulled out a picture of their respective daughters and started telling me how gorgeous their daughters were and what great cooks they are, etc etc etc. It was memorably off-putting. Parents and grandparents in rural China and Korea really used to do that kind of thing.
Yes, 500,000 yuan is a very decent salary-- approx $73,000 a year-- but it isn't off the charts. She knew the risks. It wasn't kept a secret from her. My sympathy is slightly tempered by the cultural context, but it's not like she ended up that way because of an accident, for God's sake.
Read More@MentORPHEUS it's empowering. Check your privilege, you bigot.
Your old lady sounds pretty based!
She can be sometimes, but she's still a feminist. At least she isn't a radical one and hates them.
You should have her open a Wife School and charge admission!
Not a good idea lol
Addendum: that screenshot shows some sure signs of a poser:
1) the hard hat and reflective vest are way to clean to belong to someone who actually works
2) there are zero stickers on the hard hat
3) he has no side shields on his glasses, and they aren't safety-rated
How have you never seen this guy?
I've seen him, but only on YouTube shorts.
I recall commenting on one, "does this guy ever say anything or add any actual content? Or does he just emote at the camera like a chick?" (back to this in a moment)
Someone replied that it was pretty much all he did in the shorts, but that his full-length videos had actual commentary or whatever.
Back to "emote like a chick": some e-thot has stolen his shtick, and of course wears nothing under her reflective vest so that her cleavage is quite visible. I'm sure her popularity has eclipsed his, because tits.
@Bozza I came home to my wife listening to an audio version of it yesterday. She was so pissed off that she was ready to throw away any British-made things we had and to boycott future purchases.
I got through to her a bit that the stuff we already paid for wouldn't make a difference either way, but just inconvenience ourselves unnecessarily, and that most British businesses and the people running them didn't know about this.
The heads that should roll are the politicians and police and social workers who all knew and covered for it.
I don't know if this has already been posted, or if any of you have seen it already, but Rupert Lowe released his Rape Gang Inquiry Report.
It's a very long report (200+ pages) but it's incredibly harrowing.
I don't see them wearing hardhats, safety glasses, and reflective vests as fashion accessories.
How have you never seen this guy? Ambiguously beta/gay in looks, but his content seldom fails to induce laughs and sometimes gasps.
