Summary
Women in China is a timely two-part documentary on the conditions of women in today's economically -oriented Chinese society. By visiting four diverse parts of China, it provides a representative view of the opportunities and living conditions of Chinese women today. The first part focuses on Bejing where we meet a successful women s rock group. Although the group is not officially accepted, these emancipated women are popular among the young both there and abroad. Kang Rui, once a member of Mao s People s Army talks about life as a young female soldier during the Civil War. One of the city s most successful women is Wan Wen Ying, head of a major department store. We also observe activities at a women's crisis center, which is a new phenomenon in today's more open China. The second part bring us to Yenan in the middle of China. Here poverty is visible. Many of the women are illiterate and some cope with abandonment as their husband s seek their fortunes elsewhere. In Dayudao, a prosperous fishing community, women are allowed more than one child per family. In Yantai, one of the new economic zones, a female CEO is driven among her factories by a private chaffeur. Much progress has been made in the fifty years since women had their feet bound!.
