Gender Effects on the Employment and Promotion of Civil Servants: From the Perspective of Representative Bureaucracy
WEI Shu
Have women been treated equally in the hiring and promotion of civil servants? If not, what are some of the root causes of discrimination? In the field of public administration, this problem is usually discussed from the perspective of representative bureaucracy. Based on empirical data, this study examines how socially representative the Civil Services in Jiang Su are. The findings suggest that gender influences both the employment and promotion of civil servants. Some discriminative policies exist in the hiring process; other discriminative elements are not based on policies. But discrimination in the process of promotion mainly comes from outside of policy. The study will conclude with some policy recommendations.

Phenomenon of Promotion of People of "Nonpartisan, Intellectual, of Minority Origin and Female" within the System Framework ——Based on the Interviews of Female Heads in Hubei
')" href="#">
CHEN Li-qin
Although people of "Nonpartisan, Intellectual, of Minority Origin and Female" is an informal saying, it also reflects an existing phenomenon in the current society. This article discusses the nature of the phenomenon of people of "Nonpartisan, Intellectual, of Minority Origin and Female" being selected as officials through the interviews of organizational department officials, women county governors, women township heads in Hubei. The organizational departments decided that in each "county (city, district, banner) party committee, there should be at least a woman". The appointment of the woman, however, is often influenced by informal rules that prevent the formal system to fully implement the decision. In order to eliminate the phenomenon of appointing people of "Nonpartisan, Intellectual, of Minority Origin and Female" all at the same time, there is a need for setting up mechanisms to support the institutionalization and normalization of women's participation in governance.

Fellow Natives, the Media and the New Women: Reexamining the Case of Liu Lian-bin's Suicide
ZHOU Ning
The suicide of Liu Lian-bin, a female student from Sichuan, aroused the widespread attention in society in 1923. Her fellow natives from Sichuan took action to build highly efficient networks centered on Shanghai to show solidarity. Media followed their action and reported continuously. At the time against the background of women's liberation movement, different people saw Liu's suicide differently. People who were influenced by the New Cultural Movement regarded Liu Lian-bin a feminist movement representative. However, the majority of her fellow Sichuan villagers actually described her as a female martyr who died for esteeming her chastity. Another noteworthy aspect of the incident was the identity of her murderer, He Kang, a university professor, an intellectual who had crossed the border of morality. His crime had not only undermined the image of intellectuals but also left room for the public to question the motives of "new cultural personages" in their promotion of women's liberation.

Portrait of “Body” in Ding Ling’s Fictions from a Gender Perspective
CHEN Ning
It takes a unique literary observation to portray "body". This paper considers that writers' standpoint and narrative styles in the portrait of "body" largely represent their acknowledgment of life and social relationships. It adopts this above perspective to view Ding Ling and shows that the portrait of female "body", when it encounters with revolutionary ideology, moves along a tortuous course of transformation: sometimes, it demonstrates its confidence and self-awareness; at other times, it is contaminated and alienated and even subsumed and melted down.

Relationships among the Others:Ethical Interpretations of Beauvoir's Thinking of Relationships between Mothers and Daughters
CHENG Hong-wu
The relationship between mothers and daughters can be regarded as the relationship among "others" in a male dominated society in which the relationship between male and female is regarded as the norm as one involves the self and the other. Throughout her life, Simone de Beauvoir thinks constantly the relationship of the mother and the daughter as one that can be antagonistic at some time, and at other time, coherent and protective. Beauvoir is regarded by many as the mother of feminism, a role that parallels her views of the mother-daughter relationship. If we were to rethink the above question from an ethical viewpoint, we would realize that Beauvoir has always insisted on thinking of the relationship between mothers and daughters.
