275-300


In this section, Peter talks a lot about men and women, and their roles in society. After reading this, it seems to me Fuling is rather traditional as the men play the business, moneymaking role and the women are hidden and stand behind the man. As Hessler went on though, he explains that women were able to work and make their mark on society and business, so it sounds like their culture is changing just a bit.
Reading this didn’t really strike me as surprising, because our American society was once like this- very male dominant- and still is in some cities more than others. I think every society has some growing up to do as far as prejudices, but it is nice to hear Fuling is in the process of modernizing, and equalizing their culture.
