I am so touched and in awe the courage and honesty a young woman who shares her personal story and producing a movie out of it. It also surprised me to learn how such sensitive issues of homosexuality, sexual abuse and neglect can bring up and discuss so openly in Asian cultural in China nowadays.

sai-kit man Homosexuality had always been accepted in Chinese society before Christian missionaries and values came in (actually Ming and Qing dynasties discouraged homosexuality but society didn’t really implement it until the republic era). There weren’t many records of lesbian relationships because China is a patriarchal society; however, the general rule is that as long as you continue the family line, nobody cares about your sex life. Before Xi Jinping tightened his rule, gays in China were freer but now it’s more underground. I honestly don’t really understand because of the imbalanced sex ratio. There are too many lonely men in China. At the same time, there is the problem of STDs.

Brittany C I don’t know much about homosexuality in ancient China, but I did read how it was normal back in ancient Japan (one instance I remember reading about is how samurai’s actually have sexual relations b/w mentors and students, and how if it’s found out that if someone didn’t have an intimate relationship w/ a fellow mentor or student, they’d actually get teased-not sure how true this is tho since I didn’t fact check it), so it’d make sense if it was also the same in China considering how much China has influenced Japan’s culture in ancient times. Considering how accepting and normalized homosexuality was back then, the only thing I can think of that changed that mindset of the east would be the oncoming influence from western (and western religion ethics) cultures and their values. Which is also a bit funny since it’s speculated that Ancient Greece was also open about homosexuality, and Ancient Greece does have quite a bit of influence when it comes to western culture. And now, w/ the western world becoming more accepting and vocal of homosexuality, East Asian countries are also, slowly but surely, becoming more active in hearing the voices of homosexuals. Funny how things come full circle.

@@runway5338 I think China's views towards homosexuality started to change during Tang dynasty, one of China's golden ages, when there was lots of cultural exchange, and thus many foreign religions got introduced, most notably the Islamic religion. In fact, during that time there were quite some high-ranking people who were muslim... But before that, in China, too, it was normal for people to have same sex partners... There are actually many references to ancient Chinese homosexual stories known today as a euphemism for homosexuality. For example the "cut-sleeve", which tells the story of emperor Ai of Han and his homosexual relationship with an imperial official called Dong Xian (who, because of this relationship, quickly rose to being the most powerful official in imperial Han).
She did an excellent job of setting up her documentary filming. So nice that she is trying to be closer to her mom while her mom is still living. Usually, people regret things after
Many lesbians and bisexual women are very faithful and can stay with one person only. This story is touching but please don't let it make you think it is every lesbian or bi woman's story.

@V 0w0 Yes. It is sad but we all have painful connections with Someone in our life and I think how she tries to understand her mom instead of feeling victimized is really powerful. As a westerner I also appreciate the perspective of other cultures & how they deal with pain & life issues.
Sherly M 那可不呗,伊斯兰教百分之70都是教人复仇的,中国政府处理民族问题的手段是很高明的,宗教一定得世俗化,不然太恐怖了,我们公司在北疆建桥,和当地维吾尔族经常打交道,维吾尔族男的,农村的很多天天祷告不干活,都是让女的干,一个都怀孕8个多月的妇女还在地里干活呢,我可怜她经常给她买营养品,回家她老公还打她,维吾尔族老公打老婆可不像其他民族不会真打媳妇儿,他们打媳妇儿用拳头杠杠打,拳拳到肉,还有按照教义他们应该不能饮酒,但是他们真的经常喝酒,一瓶酒几个男的往地上一坐,你一口我一口的,关键还都对着瓶嘴,国家给他们的钱,是到月就领,给的越多越害他们,还有分给他们的地,就是不种,这些都是我亲眼看到的
