Wow, what an amazing connection of ancient Chinese female writer, Ban Zhao with her seven lessons for women with the modern popular film "Crazy Rich Asians¨ presented by Preffsor Yan from UCLA this morning. He actually deepened our thoughts about the gender, age, and generations in China even though i was born and raised there, I really never thought through all what happened from now and then in pursuing our happiness, which conflicting our traditional social norms and proprieties. Ban Zhaoś sever lessons for women "humility( Beirou); Husband and wife; respect and caution; womanly conduct; singlemindedness; implicit obedience; Harmony and relatives¨ acutally set up rules for our behaviors to be a perfect lady, but we actually lost our happiness and freedom as we believed "Freedom is an opportunity for us to live the life we want to live in¨, which really put me into deep htinking of the roles I play in this modern society. Of course, I am an extremely traditional Chinese woman influenced by those "Three Odediences and Four Virtues¨, which restricted my hebaviors and thinking, but I pursue and enjoy freedom as well. I think this is a great topics I´d like to introduce and discuss with my 10th graders.
