Features: The issue of women is also the issue of men; we together form a complete humanity. The cleansing of China's patriarchal cultural tradition should become our shared concern. We have long been immersed in the saucepan of patriarchal culture, and it's hard to ensure we don't pick up a bit of sauce from it. Our efforts to cleanse this culture may easily appear extreme, or even become complicit in it. Culture is history that lives in reality. The cleansing of culture must have an impact on real life to have true meaning. —Editor's Note
