Dear Women of China,
I＇m interested in your magazine, but there＇s no way for me to get copies of it where I live. I see that your website has an electronic version of the magazine, but it＇s only one issue, it＇s a few months old, it＇s difficult to read （because you have to wait for the pages to enlarge）, and you have to click on the pages to flip them back to the table of contents or reload the whole page. It＇s extremely aggravating and not at all easy for readers to use.

In general, I really admire your magazine. I＇ve become addicted and I read your magazine every month. I think it is an essential read for anyone interested in gender equality and （anyone who） supports win-win progress for both men and women. I would like to see more debate on family and cultural issues, though, and read more about the secret to China＇s economic growth. Many thanks to the Embassy of China, in Eritrea, for distributing the magazine.

Dear Women of China I was glad to see your March issue focus on International Women＇s Day. It＇s an important event and I hope it will last 100 years more. As a man who supports women＇s rights and the chance at equal opportunities for all, I think the first step toward a gender-equal society is caring about the hardships women face. It＇s sad when I sometimes see friends of mine know about these issues, but are more interested in checking out sports. I hope International Women＇s Day continues to remind us, and urge us, to care about the female half of the human population.

Dear Women of China, I＇ve had the pleasure of having dinner with my Chinese girlfriend＇s family a few times in the past, but each time they urged me to drink lots of alcohol. I understand that it＇s their way of welcoming and encouraging me to feel comfortable around them, but I＇m not very fond of drinking. However, every time I try to refuse a drink, they keep insisting that I drink anyway, until I give up trying to convince them. Now, I＇m uneasy about having more dinners with them.

Dear Women of China,
I＇ll be working in China for the next few years and I＇d like to bring my dog, Copper, with me. He＇s a full-grown golden retriever and he weighs 72 pounds. Will it be difficult to import a large dog like him to China？ What should I do before leaving for China？ I have heard there is a mandatory, 30-day quarantine for all pets. Is there any way to skip it by showing the right health documents？

Dear Women of China,
I＇ll be studying Chinese in Guilin, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, in the summer, but my school is rather small and doesn＇t have its own cafeteria or dining plan. Students have to purchase their meals or cook for themselves in their apartments. I know there will be restaurants nearby, but I want to save money instead of spending extra for meals.     

妇女进步与我们的未来 全国妇联副主席孟晓驷在香港“北京＋15妇女地位论坛”上的演讲（摘要）

It is my pleasure to be here in Hong Kong at the Beijing ＋ 15 Forum of Status of Women amid the elegance and charm of China＇s Pearl of the Orient, and to have the opportunity to meet and discuss with the women of Hong Kong their good works. As this year marks the 15th anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, it is an apt date indeed for the Hong Kong Federation of Women to hold this forum. One hundred years ago, the Second International Socialist Women＇s Conference designated March 8 International Women＇s Day. Since then, March 8 has been a festival for women around the world.
