Having just read the book ' Good women of China' detailing the plight of women, I was stirred to write this. Interestingly, there are today, more female suicides in China (Zhonggou) than any other country. Sadly world stastics normally show male suicides to be higher than that of women. However, despite China's new openess her female suicide rates, buck this trend. 

For some time now our justice system appears to give 'hearsay' and 'gossip' the same legal status as hard evidence. Doing this can open the doors for sadistic vengeful people to 'get even' for what ever reason. If we continue to tread this road then who knows where it will end. Surely evidence should still be vital to convict. Value some feedback on this as I know it is not an easy subject to write about, but then are we not in some way meant to be the voice of reason? 

I trust the changes make for improved reading. I await your comments with interest. 

I am posting this in the synopsis group as I am interested in feedback as to whether it has the makings of a longer story. It was originally posted as a short story but think their are too many threads here which have not been drawn together. Need to know if it should be pruned or expanded, and I would welcome some pointers, comments, thoughts. Thank you.
