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.
