The new three from means from the world, from love, from oneself; the new four virtues are, literary virtue and martial virtue, speech and skillfulness, character and learning, and cultivation of virtue. More women should use their wisdom and potential to add value to themselves and contribute to society.
Event Review: Hong Kong Women Pursue New “Three Virtues and Four Virtues”
On the 21st, Wong Bing-fen, a student at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, said that the new three virtues are from the world, from love, and from oneself; the new four virtues are from the world, from love, from character, from learning, and from cultivating. The new four virtues are, literary virtue and martial virtue, speech and virtue, character and learning, and cultivation of virtue.
Wong Bing-fen, who holds a number of titles such as obligatory assistant to the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong SAR and Vice Chairman of the Shatin East District of the Scout Association of Hong Kong, explained that from the world: one should look at the development of the whole situation from a macro perspective. Under globalization, countries are competing more fiercely. China is on the rise and has a pivotal position in the international arena. Although Hong Kong is an international city, its relationship with China is inseparable. From love: one should use love to resolve conflicts in family, work and social life. The world’s most important thing is to be aware of one’s own shortcomings and strengths, so that one can position oneself accurately in the coordinates of life.
With the great competition in our society, it is not necessary to be proficient in everything from chess to painting, but it is important to be knowledgeable and develop expertise.
The first time I saw a woman, I was able to get to know her. Character, learning and virtue: good character increases popularity, taste adds charm; keep learning and pursuing progress in order to become more and more beautiful. The first thing you need to do is to find out and make good use of the delicate and gentle qualities of women, so that you can be confident in your work, elegant in your life, and virtuous in your family.
The above new “three virtues of obedience” are very different from the old “three virtues of obedience”. In the Chinese feudal society, according to the principle of “internal and external distinction” and “male superiority over female”, Confucian rituals require women to be “three submissive and four virtues”. The so-called three obediences refer to the father before marriage, the husband after marriage, and the son after the husband’s death; the so-called four virtues refer to women’s virtue, women’s speech, women’s appearance, and women’s merit. Today, with the development of the times and the improvement of women’s status, it is gradually abandoned.
Before Huang Bingfen came up with the new “Three Virtues”, she had just undergone the third Half the Sky’s Million Young Leaders Training Program, which lasted six months. In the past six months, she and more than 20 other participants have been exposed to and trained by people from the political, business, legal and academic communities in China and Hong Kong.
The Half the Sky Leadership Training Program is a comprehensive training program for young women aged 21 to 35 who are working or studying in Hong Kong, with the aim of nurturing future women leaders with roots in Hong Kong, a love for the motherland and a global perspective. The third edition of Half the Sky’s One Million Young Leaders Training Program was completed on the 21st.
Legislative Councilor Miriam Lau, who officiated at the ceremony, said more women should step up to the plate, use their wisdom and potential, add value to themselves, take on challenges in the workplace, climb to higher positions, and contribute to society. She also called on husbands to take on more family responsibilities and obligations to support their wives at work; and the government to use more resources to support women.

For thousands of years, we have only seen society treat women harshly, putting on layer after layer of shackles and setting up hurdles after hurdles, even the entrance exam scores are more than 60 points higher than men, on what basis? The company’s main goal is to provide a better solution to the problem. The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public.

Wang Xiaofart’s Wang Lemon: To sum it up: the development of feminist ideology varies among girls in the mainland, depending on the region. The fact is that the women’s rights are not the same as the women’s rights. If you want to compare them, you can write an article on Hong Kong women, and you need to write a separate collection of essays on mainland girls.

Comprehensive survey: Are women in Hong Kong holding up half the sky?
It seems indisputable that women in Hong Kong enjoy a higher social status, but have they held up half the sky? The Hong Kong Women’s Commission’s earlier survey has produced some interesting data that will give some insight. One of the findings of the survey is that nearly 70% of the community believes that women now enjoy equal power and equal opportunities to develop in society with men; 85% agree that women are now independent and autonomous.
However, the survey also found that more women disagreed with the former statement, and more men disagreed with the latter. The survey also found that more women disagree with the former statement and more men disagree with the latter.
According to Hong Kong’s Wen Wei Po, the traditional concept in Chinese society is that “men are in charge and women are in charge”, and women are less likely to “take a high profile stand”. The Hong Kong Women’s Commission commissioned Policy 21 to interview 3002 people with a questionnaire. The survey found that when asked to evaluate the ability of men and women in political leadership and district services, nearly 40% of the people tend to agree that men have more political leadership skills than women, while women perform better than men in community services. This reflects the existence of gender stereotypes in society regarding the political participation of men and women. When asked if they had more confidence in female legislators, the largest number of people had neutral views.
There is a tendency for women to express their opinions and demands in a more static way, such as participating in signature campaigns, while the participation rate in other activities such as rallies is lower than men’s. Women also have a lower participation rate than men in local consultation activities, and in seminars and briefings on policies and livelihoods.
In terms of community involvement, the survey results show that about 30% of women have participated in activities organized by local groups in the past year, while less than 20% of men have participated. More women said they had participated in volunteer work in the past year; similarly, more women volunteers than men said they had helped prepare activities for or served as leaders of community organizations in the past year. As for the knowledge of government advisory and statutory bodies, half of the women and 42% of the men said they had never heard of them. Even if they were invited, less than 10% of women and men said they would be invited to serve in public office, with fewer women than men.
Generally agreed that the status of women in society is moderate
The results also show that the general public in Hong Kong gives only average ratings to the “status” of women in society.
The results also show that the general public in Hong Kong rate women’s “status” in society as average, but the general public rate women’s “satisfaction” with their status in society as higher than their rating of women’s “status” in society.
The results are the same as those released by the WoC earlier on women’s status at home and their satisfaction with it, reflecting a tendency to accept women’s current less-than-high status in society and the need to strengthen gender awareness in society.
Editor’s Note
Women must have a career and be independent, and the simplest phrase is “at least you have a place to go other than your home. The only way for women to gain psychological peace in life is to be financially independent, to be happy, to be respected.
