I never read it, but one thing intrigued me about the high suicide rate for young women in China...

not in the big modern cities like BeiJin but the more country sides where farmers roam...

because of the one baby per family act...most families prefer sons...and when they get a daughter and if they can get away with it...they usually drown or kill them...

but currently, there is a big international effort about putting up these little girls for adoption...

there is a local couple here (the man was my constructions instructor) that has been to China and adopted a little girl a few years ago. They went back this Christmas to adopt another one...

anyways, just finding it interesting...

hope all is well in your neck of the woods, I've been reading about your drought and how crops have gone very expensive...thinking of you
