Soon after they started dating, Chunming sensed he wasn’t right for her. He frequently borrowed money from his parents and lacked her gift for hard work. “He couldn’t accomplish the big things and didn’t want to bother with the small things” was how Chunming put it. Twice when they fought, he hit her.

“He used his hand like this, and slapped me hard on the face,” Chunming told me, holding her hand out stiffly, palm up, to demonstrate. “The first time he hit me, I cried and cried. He promised he would never do it again. The second time he hit me, I didn’t respond at all. I was just very calm. There is a traditional saying that the man who hits once will hit again. Now I know that it’s true.” That was in 2002, but Chunming stayed with her boyfriend for another year and a half. They shared a rented three-bedroom apartment across from the Wal-Mart in downtown Dongguan.
