Reflecting Mao Zedong's famous words that women hold up half the heavens, women in China benefit from greater equality in the workplace than in many other nations. But on a social level, women tend to be discouraged from actively pursuing their careers or hobbies with labels that are unfairly applied to them: Whether deemed "leftovers" or facetiously called "ideal women", those who choose priorities that differ from conventional gender images are penalized by harsh social perceptions. In this episode, we take a look at the lives of women who seek their own identities, evading the restrictive gender roles that have yet to catch up with otherwise modern China.
