1. The 25th rule states that after divorce, if the woman does not remarry and encounters difficulties in life, the ex-husband should assist. This rule has literally solved Xiu Yun's problems. 2.

China's strength has been diminished, but in the wake of this there still remains the serious issue of marriage. 4.

She realizes the reward of hard work, developing herself as a model individual and rising to become chief of the village. 5. During this revolution period, women have experienced countless suffering. Though they tried to work, they were shamed and suppressed. 6. The seventh rule of marriage is: as life companions, men and women share equal standing in the family. The ninth rule of marriage is that both parties have equal freedom of choice to participate in society and to engage with their careers
