Features: At first glance, the title "Reading Beijing Women" might make you think this is a book that portrays Beijing women in an extraordinary way. Skimming through the table of contents, you might guess it's a guide to Beijing's food, clothing, housing, and local customs. But as you read carefully, you'll discover that it's all about a series of clever and witty girls, with a light tone, humor woven throughout, and occasional clever twists that make you laugh out loud. Women are the thread that runs through the entire book, especially Beijing women, who are consistently present. Whether in "Talking About Books and Theater" or "Clothing," "Food," "Housing," and "Transportation," every section and every article is about women. It occurs to me that this book will surely resonate with female readers. But if any man is currently trying to understand women, especially if he's planning to marry a Beijing wife and wants to ensure he never gets divorced, he must read this book. It will help you avoid many dangerous detours.
