A friend of mine married to a man from a powerful family in China. One day after an quarrel, he attacked her from behind and kicked her really hard after she fell. One of her bones was broken and she suffered concussion. She went to live with her parents and dared not call the police. Her husband went to her parents’ apartment and banged on the door and shouted at them. ‘Luckily’ she divorced him in the end. The crime happened to me was not so physical but also very traumatising. My health is damaged, but when I tried to tell people about this, I didn’t get much support. A man I used to respect, my sort-of mentor said something like: is it worth throwing away your career for such a ‘minor crime’? Is truth more important than success? Now I don’t know if I still have a career with such health in such environment. China is the only country where women’s suicide rate is higher than men.The suicide rate of women and children in China is one of the highest in the world. China has the most distorted sex ratio. Sometimes, sexism=massacre.
