　　In people's minds, Beijing women are taller, bold, and uninhibited, while Shanghai women are smaller in figure, and always speak in a soft voice．The image(形象．)of Beijing women is usually bigger than Shanghai women's．However, it turns out to be just the other way round after I have worked in Beijing for some time．

　　Everybody goes Dutch in Shanghai; even at a grand party, but in Beijing it' s usually the men' s treat．And it is also impossible to invite a female friend who already has a boyfriend or a young married woman out, even if you promise to see her home that night,

　　The conditions of the men in Beijing are no better at all．All their cellphones will ring one after another at 12 o'clock sharp at night．The voice on the other end is usually loud enough for anyone nearby to hear．"Where have you been? Do you remember that you've got a home? Now who's with you?" and these three sentences are usually the main parts of the call．

　　Shanghai women could never understand this．If it' s a Shanghai woman who shouts in the phone, the Shanghai man on the other end must think that she is crazy(or drunk, perhaps)．The Shanghainese go Dutch in life, and they appreciate the independence in both economic and love affairs．

　　Many of my friend girls in Shanghai are office ladies with very high income．The tiredness of life cannot kill their pride in saying："I don't depend on any men．" Thus no men can command them, for example, to force them to come back home before 10 pm．Beijingers do not admire the Shanghai way of life, anyhow．How can a couple be addressed as "a couple" when they don't know where the other has been last night? They wondered．
