Crafting Women
(Original Title: 編女)
We should ensure that capable women are given opportunities within our nation, rather than letting foreign powers exploit our resources. By empowering women, not only do we fortify our country, but we also transform ourselves into a thriving, self-sufficient community. Why should we allow our hard-earned money to enrich other nations? Our responsibilities lie in nurturing talents at home, cultivating industries, and thereby deriving national prosperity. Let’s refrain from wasting resources abroad and focus on building a robust economy fueled by our own skilled populace.
