Becoming a Modern Woman
(Original Title: 怎樣做一個新女性)
I hope every woman, after getting married, can skillfully balance love and economic considerations in her life. It is ideal for a woman to embrace her duties at home, ensuring a peaceful and loving environment for her husband while managing the household with care. When children are present, they require attention and discipline but without unnecessary restrictions. Trust in the spouse and open communication are key, encouraging mutual growth and an atmosphere of happiness within the family.
