 Honoring women

SIAS University

Henan Province, China

Spring 2012

I asked a group of my students to write a short story about some women we honored at our annual Women’s Symposium last year (2011).  We honored six women who have rubbed the government a little bit so we were told that we could no longer honor anyone like that again.  So this year, we will honor rural women who have made a difference in their villages. But we tentatively plan to publish these stories (about last year’s recipients) in this year’s program book.  Here is what one student submitted.

Wu Qing

 Wu Qing, the daughter of famous writer Bin Xin, was born in 1937 and a professor of Beijing Foreign Language University after graduated from English department.

   In her short life, she had make so much accomplishment.  She compered the Sunday English of CCTV from1977 to 1979. She studied society history and community building course in MIT of America.  And she was in charge of undergraduate and postgraduate who studied the society and culture.  For outstanding work, she was upraised the Excellent Teacher.

    At the same time, she wrote so many books that we can't write all their names.  Among these works, there are very famous ones, such as <<How To Take The First Step To Learn English>>,<<Campus English>>and so on. Besides she also published articles in overseas.<<The Reform's Influence To Chinese Ladies >> and some others all proved that lady have the rights to gain higher education and all the rights the men  have.

    As tge satubg gies* (sic) "Men and Women are all human beings.  So they should be treat equally.  And from her experience we can learn that women can also get what they want if they try their best and work hard.

     So, come on my sisters! Take action to reach the stars that your dream of.
