I know I'm late for Cult Chat but does anyone have any good resources on the Taiping Rebellion? It seems very underserved by western organizations.

It also has the highest suicide rate amongst women and girls in the world and has had for at least 10 years. It's almost twice as high as the second highest country (Belgium) and is a big contribution to making a Korea number one overall. But hey, Korean beauty products are second to none as well and it has the highest rate of plastic surgery worldwide too. But I'm sure those things aren't related at all.

peanut posted:Personally l think that if you treat women better and equal and give them education and control over their social life and finances then they will have even fewer children. Step one is not killing them in the womb. I've read that the figure is 100 million worldwide, but that number just boggles my mind. Is there any evidence that it is lower?

Pham Nuwen posted:I can no longer find it because Youtube is a hellish nightmare of people trying to get noticed via Shorts, but years ago I watched a video where an Indian dude in boxers & an undershirt demonstrates how to eat a soft mango... basically you massage it thoroughly through the skin, then tear off the little stem stub and pour it out into a bowl. The fact that the dude was sitting there in his unlit kitchen in his underwear was critical to the video. When I do this I suck it out like gogurt

quote:China's large and increasing population meant that increasing food production, principally rice, was a top priority for the Chinese government. When the People's Republic of China was established in 1949, the Chinese Communist Party made it a priority to pursue agricultural development.[46] They sought to solve China's food security issues by focusing on traditional crop production, biological pest control, the implementation of modern technology and science, creating food reserves for the population, high-yield seed varieties, multi-cropping, controlled irrigation, and protecting food security.[47][48][49] This began with the Agrarian Reform Law of 1950, which ended private land ownership and gave land back to the peasants.[48] Unlike with Mexico, the Philippines, India, or Brazil, the beginning of China's unique Green Revolution were unrelated to the American "Green Revolution." Rather, it was characterized by the government's sponsorship of agricultural research in concert with peasant knowledge and feedback, earlier international research, nature-based pest control and many other non-industrial agricultural practices, in order to feed the rapidly growing population.[48] [50] Just found this amazing Wikipedia edit. Truly glowing review of Chinese agriculture in the 50s. Couldn’t have gone better!

Nice Van My Man posted:I remember a Korean woman saying that Korean women would try to date Chinese guys to avoid Korean guys and wondering how awful Korean guys must be. It seems like they could just arrange a trade. In the early 70s my Korean aunt was sold/married to a Chinese import exporter in Hong Kong but then he was committed after running naked in the streets so they annulled the marriage or something. So yeah trading is definitely an option.

Grand Fromage posted:Please tell me you have more details about this story. That part of her life she leaves the most vague. I know that during the war she got separated from her family at 5 or 6, got taken in by a super old blind couple and that that’s when she ‘ate worms’ to not starve to death. She worked from a very young age in restaurants and as a forager (when we go to the beach with her we don’t take lunch and eat like kings). In her teens, she saw her brother at a market (“we are mountain people and taller than everyone else so I saw him far away in the crowd”) after the Hong Kong thing she moved to Tokyo where she met my uncle who a radio man stationed somewhere in the gulf of Tonkin and was 12 years younger than her. They moved to the Bay Area after the war and she worked at Luby’s, sings karaoke, hikes, and gardens like a beast. Oh and somewhere in there she was forced sterilized but she doesn’t talk about that for obvious reasons.
