On the streets of Shanghai, the hustle and bustle continued as always. A young newsboy, wearing ragged, turned-up trousers and a dusty cap, shouted in a clear, bright voice over and over again.
"Extra! Extra! Read all about it!"
"Big news from Jinnan County! A defenseless woman sues her husband's family for embezzling her massive dowry!"
"Extra! Extra! A defenseless woman from Jinnan County wins her case against a bullying husband's family!"
A crowd quickly gathered. "Give me one."
"My, women are getting more and more daring these days; she actually sued her husband's family! Give me one, too."
"Look, look! Did she win?"
"Oh, there's even a picture here. She’s quite pretty. How would I know if she won just by looking at this? If you want to know, buy a paper and see for yourself."
"Fine, I'll buy one. Here you go, lad, give me a copy."
