答案 On Domestic Violence Li Yang’s scandal of beating his American wife draws the public’s attention once again to domestic violence, a repeatedly discussed yet constantly unsolved issue in contemporary Chinese society. Typically, women fall into victims of men who appear nice or even respectable in public. As the number of incidents of domestic violence increases, people begin to wonder: why domestic violence is prevalent in Chinese families? In my eyes, the causes of increasing domestic violence in China mainly lie in the negative influence of Chinese feudalist mindset and the disadvantaged economic status of Chinese women. To start with, the defects of Chinese traditional culture play a key role in the rising number of domestic violence in China. Chinese feudal culture is a patriarchal one, in which the husband is granted absolute authority while the wife is regarded as subordinate. And men consider themselves as the family masters. They assume the right to maintain order at home by using violence. Under this circumstance, men become increasingly dominant, treating women as possessions and objects which are disposable. What makes matters worse is the fact that Chinese people are taught to believe that domestic shame should not be made public, which is the main reason that some women are reluctant to denounce the violence. As a result, more and more women choose to submit to years of physical and mental torture. Additionally, women’s economic disadvantages also lead to domestic violence. Although contemporary Chinese society becomes more and more liberal, and men and women are supposed to enjoy equal rights in the market-based economy, it should be noted that over the last three decades of reform, power, represented by economic advantage, is still within the grasp of men. Traditional roles of men and women in a family remain untouched. For those women who have not succeeded in gaining e-conomic independence, they are in fact still to some extent under men’s control. As men are usually house-owner and bread-earner, life would prove very difficult for a woman if she leaves her husband. Thus women do not have as much say in the domestic arena as men do, which might further result in the abuse of women by men. To conclude, the epidemic of domestic violence is brought both by Chinese feudalist mindset and by differences in economic status. To solve the problem of domestic violence, there is still a long way to go before we can eradicate the prejudice and bridge the economic difference between men and women in China
