I like the focus on the strength of the women of China and how they are willing to fight for what they believe is just. Very well done.

In Chinese, does the word “Hao” mean “Hello”? Is that the Chinese word for “hello”? I assumed that it probably means “hello” because I saw in one of the episodes that you walked up to a Chinese lady and said “Hao” to her, and then she said “Hao” back, and then you shook hands with her. Well, I was just wondering about that.

The displacement of poor people in China by the govt. is sad but I wonder how we would feel viewing footage of a Chinese news team coming into our poorer neighborhoods and capturing the complaints of people who lived there.
