A lot of times they are really gritty, but I think it is good for people to know what goes on in other socio-economic circles and in other cultures.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12831169405732892599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607441034503290367.post-34050114551621197922010-04-01T18:26:13.462-07:002010-04-01T18:26:13.462-07:00Glad to hear your presentation went well.

Thank you for your good wishes. I think...Hi Murat,<br /><br />Thank you for your good wishes. I think these stories are pretty common in many places around the world, especially in times when there is a great disparity of incomes and wealth. This was the era when Taiwan was called a "Little Tiger." Many people were raking in the money hand over fist, but the Liu family was fighting out of bankruptcy. There was the temptation of a singing career to try to change the family fortunes quickly and easily. Unscrupulous people preyed on that. <br /><br />I have heard from some of my mainland Chinese "daughters" that the "snake heads" (people smugglers) from China frequently sell the young girls in their parties into brothels here in the US. But the allure of the promise of riches is too much, and they come unsuspecting and get trapped. <br /><br />TeresaTeresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12831169405732892599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607441034503290367.post-6734715552754156742010-03-30T19:02:39.173-07:002010-03-30T19:02:39.173-07:00The picture of those beautiful babies - what a con...The picture of those beautiful babies - what a contrast to the sad story of the sex slavery front. So glad she was able to get out. Much sadness in these stories and what they represent in the larger world of women's voices. Prayers to you for your mending.murat11https://www.blogger.com/profile/00663364407992075130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607441034503290367.post-49594557868467460712010-03-29T20:54:42.105-07:002010-03-29T20:54:42.105-07:00Hi Cloudia,
