2. Remarriage is becoming common in today’s society. People hold different views, positive and negative. Elaborate on your view.

The simple answer is when you have come to terms with the end of your first marriage. This is particularly important if you did not want the first marriage to end, and had to deal with the pain of leaving or being left by your previous partner. It takes longer than many people expect to get over the end of a marriage, even if you might have been unhappy and felt that the end was inevitable.

Some studies suggest many people take at least two years to adjust to the end of a marriage. There are many exceptions to this. Some people take longer, others adjust more rapidly. Ask yourself:

do I find myself thinking about my ex-partner and do these thoughts still arouse strong feelings, including feelings of anger and resentment?
have I adjusted to living alone again?
have I regained a sense of self-confidence?
can I look back on the first marriage and recognise some of the things that contributed to it's breakdown?
In other words, am I emotionally free to re-marry? Can I put all my emotional energy into this new relationship without allowing my feelings about my first marriage to get in the way?

Just as you cannot re-marry until you are legally free to do so, being emotionally free to re-marry is also important.

Unfortunately this question is often overlooked. Are you thinking of re-marrying because you want to be with a new partner whom you love or do you want to re-marry for the sake of being married, or to provide a two-parent home for your children? Being alone is not easy after being married, especially if you have children living with you. However, moving too rapidly into a new marriage is no solution in the long-run, particularly if it doesn't work out.

Past experiences influence our choice of partners. This is especially true of a second marriage. Be realistic about what worked and what didn't work in your first marriage when making a decision about a new partner. Learn from that experience to clarify what sort of partner you want.

Being in love is not enough to make a relationship work especially once the initial excitement has worn off. Many couples thinking of getting married try living together first. This may help, but remember that living together is not the same as being married. If you have children, they may find such an arrangement confusing and need reassurance.

When you ask yourself these three questions, listen to any doubts that you have and consider talking them over with a counsellor.

3. Comment on Chairman Mao’s “women can hold up half of the sky”.
As the Chinese saying goes, women can hold up half of the sky. Like men, women are movers of human history, creators of social wealth as well as participants of social process. However, even in the 21st century, women are still in a vulnerable position in social life and their equal rights with men are yet to be fully guaranteed. What are the obstacles behind? The answer by the Chinese delegation is as follows.

Firstly, the outdated gender stereotypes should be discarded. Women's mind, in particular, should be freed from such stereotypes in order to improve their de facto human rights. No action can be taken without awareness of their rights. Traditional stereotypes prevent women from being aware of their own values, rights and potentials. Under such circumstances, it would be utterly impossible to think about changing their fates through their own efforts and safeguarding their own rights. The same gender stereotypes also keep men from sharing household duties. And they are frequently sources of prejudice, violence and sexual aggression against women. The Chinese delegation believes that the international community and all governments should take measures to launch systematic awareness and education campaigns to gradually overcome those stereotypes that impede full enjoyment of human rights by women.

Secondly, women's participation in decision-making process at national level should be guaranteed by fighting prejudices against women in a country's political and economic lives. We are of the view that women's equal participation in policy formulation and decision-making process will enhance their status. It will also serve as a concrete proof of greater democracy and better protection of human rights for women. To that end, governments are duty-bound to combat the negative social attitude towards women's participation in political life. They should provide women with education and training in the field of public and economic policies, civil awareness and information technology, with the view to help women acquire the skills and confidence vital to their full participation in political and public lives. Corresponding laws, policies and institutions are also essential.
