Reading Summary Assessment

Summary

An upsetting condition is facing China, where the rate of women who commit suicide is one in every 4 minutes. The most common areas where women commit suicide are the rural areas because of the poisons available there, as approximately 150,000 women succeed in committing suicide and most of them are from the rural areas.
Head of the suicide prevention project, Xu Rong is in charge for such conditions ands she’s working for these suicides is the arranged marriage where women are forced to marry men that they don’t like.
Divorce isn’t the best solution for people who are married with arranged marriage because it causes economical problems to the family itself, so eventually they commit suicide because they wont be able to solve their problems. As a consequence the rate of women committing suicide will reduce slowly, and men wont have enough women as a percentage to be equivalent and that will cause many problems in the country such as prostitution and abduction.
A couple of courses were arranged for women by Xu Rong to determine the future of china’s women, such as cooking, marriage laws and other personal life experiences courses have been arranged as well to give them confidence in themselves.


Main idea

The article is mainly talking about committing suicide in China and how it is seriously increasing with high numbers and most of these women are from rural areas and their main reason for such suicide is to advertise their sense of irritation.


Comment

From my point of view, it’s bad to know that the Republic of China, one of greatest nations world wide, is losing 150,000 of their women yearly, and since women are having alternative positions with men they have to solve this problem as soon as they can by managing some jobs for women and by that the rate of committing suicide will decrease and the life style of china will be developed.
