Another down side to Chinese culture: Domestic Violence [View all]

BEIJING -- Her head was ringing from the blows. Once, twice, three times, her husband slammed her face into the living room floor.

Kim Lee tried to twist her tall but skinny frame out from under his 91-kilogram (200-pound) body, scraping her elbows and knees on the carpet. He kept on pounding. Eight, nine, 10 times – she thought she might black out.

As a side note, I consider this to be very accurate. When I lived there I witnessed similar abuse in the apartment I lived in. And since the stairwells are concrete, the noise echos throughout the building. Even when getting off a bus in Shenyang, a female was near the bus stop getting the snot beat out of her by an apparent scumbag boyfriend. There was nothing I could do to stop it. The police would do nothing either if they saw it occur.
