调查：女人因什么而快乐？ What women want: Self-fulfillment [ 2007-03-27 16:49 ] What makes a woman happy? Power, money,love, sex? In fact, self-fulfillment ranks the highest, for more than 60 percentof the respondents in a recent survey.The survey was conducted by the Yueji.Self, a Chinese-language magazinejointly launched this month by the Chinese-language Women of Chinamagazine and the New York-based magazine publisher Conde NastPublications."The high marks for self -fulfillment are inspiring and encouraging,"Li Yinhe, a noted sexologist and professor at the Chinese Academy ofSocial Sciences, said."It shows big progress. More and more women want to achieve their lifevalue, which eclipses the importance of the private life for women."When women start to value self fulfillment, they become more equal tomen."In China, the traditional mindset is that men live for their careersand women live for love.Although only about 22.5 percent surveyed prioritized love as the bighappiness maker, it doesn't mean that Chinese women no longer believe inlove, Li said.However, it demonstrated that love was no longer the most importantfactor for a woman to be happy in China. This is perhaps reflected in thegrowing trend that many Chinese women are opting to remain single.While the dependence on love for happiness has dampened, according tothe survey, so has sex.Only about 2.2 percent of Chinese women consider sex the most valuablefactor to a happy woman.The reason, Li said, was that the word was stereotyped with negativemeanings."A good woman should not like sex," she said."Love is a beautiful word. But power, money and sex all represent thenegative things."So it is understandable when only 0.6 percent of women chose power, thelowest among all options, the survey showed.The survey is also the first of its kind to be carried out in 15 citieson the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan province.It surveyed 24,107 women aged from 25 to 35 from December 2006 andMarch 2007.双语资讯 |
