Translation from Wedding Bells ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Although Hong Kong has the ''Handbag party''and, while many woman are becoming high-rank officials in the government, I still don't think that men and women are considered equal. When I was little, my family and teachers told me: ''Chiu, you are a girl, you know! Walk properly. Don't bounce about. Do....! Don't.....!'' Since childhood, I've always liked to argue to the contrary. If you tell me to turn left, I will turn right. When I see women depending on men, I feel that they're really useless. I think: ''Now I have an annual salary of five hundred thousand dollars, my own apartment, and travel here and there every holiday. Life is so relaxing! I am the boss, who can decide to do whatever I like. What's the point relying on men?'' However, I can't always behave haughtily. Since I've known Seun, I don't know why, I care less about promotion or an increase in salary. What I love best is not visiting my relatives in the States and Canada, or enjoying sunshine and beaches in the Maldives. Now, I care most about what kind of dishes to prepare for my husband, and what I love best is watching my husband drink my slow-cooked soup and eat all the food that I made. In fact, I never dreamed of myself ever making such a drastic change.
