Feminism in China

Feminism has been working hard to fight for women's rights. Equality of women's issues is a policy that every country's government wants to balance. As we know culture,economy, and different governments’ policies still support the men’s world,right now this world power is still controlled by the men. I know life for women is much better than before, but the changes needed to make women’s lives equal in the world are not complete. The women’s rights movement is always a big topic for the whole world to discover. Women’s rights guarantee that women have equality to men in the society. That’s the long way to go, that’s why feminism tries so hard to wake up the world and show how important it is for women to get benefits from the community. That is the reason feminism is fighting for the equality of all women over many years. Because women are still not equal like men in the society. Women should be fighting for equality and for women’s rights.

Ha Qiongwen’s, «Long Live Chairman Mao! », is mainly a painting of a woman with a little girl. The two of them smile, this image is a symbol of the woman’s beauty and another deep meaning of thank you Chairman Mao for letting women live a happy life.They bless Chairman Mao to live longer. As we know,women have never had a place in the long history of Chinese history, but since the founding of New China in 1949, women’s status has been overwhelming. Mao and the Communist Party wanted to follow the Marxist theory to keep fighting for women’s rights. It created equal opportunities for the women, and in many ways women in Red China now see themselves as equal to men.  We can see how happy the mother and daughter in this painting are, the mother and daughter in the flower cluster, we all know that flowers are synonymous with women, the flowers in the hands of little girls have more profound meaning,children are a country In the future, flowers bloom happily in the sun, and who is the sun and rain is of course Mao Zedong. Mao Zedong’s policy has allowed women to stand up. Of course, women in China have a much higher happiness index than many other countries. From this picture, we can feel the atmosphere of joy. Although the female living environment in China is not bad, Chinese feminists have never stopped fighting for women's power. We know that feminism is also reflected in art, and we can know history from art.

Also,the Communist Party breaks the class system, so no matter how poor or rich, women are treated the same way. The second point is that from her book people can see that when women get benefits from the Communist Party system, they live unbelievably changed lives. In other words, the Chinese Communist Party makes the Chinese women’s lives more joyful.

Feminists support feminism from different angles. Although the author of this painting is a male painter, but he supports feminism. His elaboration shows that he wants to draw a detailed picture of a woman in New China. This picture shows women’s beauty, also as a symbol is that Chinese women are very happy.
