SHANGHAI, March 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The 17th Hortiflorexpo IPM Shanghai (HIS), Asia's largest floricultural, horticultural and garden trade show, will be held from April 22-24, 2015 at Shanghai New International Expo Center.
March 8, 2015 marked International Women's Day. To commemorate the day, a popular Chinese video website presented images of a carefree woman, drinking tea and looking weak, in need of care. On the homepage of another famous Chinese search engine, the woman was represented by a sweet doll in a music box. However, on a famous international search site, the pictures of the women were doctors, astronauts and scientists. 'Do whatever you want to do, be whoever you want to be'.
This Women's Day, many Chinese women who clicked on the first two websites voiced their disappointment towards such discrimination. There is a broad consensus that women shall live their own lives and while they might be sweet dolls or grand ladies, they might also become teachers, scholars, experts, professors, doctors or scientists. Everyone, whatever their gender is, has the right to choose the ways in which they can live their lives to become a better person.
However, in modern society, professional women have to deal with constant competition and unending pressure. Sacrificing health or beauty for their jobs, companies, husbands or families, many women have become torn worn house wives. How can a woman keep a balance between overloaded career pressure and their families and return to a peaceful, tranquil and slow-paced life?
Horticulturists would recommend arranging plants on balconies, terraces or office desks; watering and fertilizing them, and removing the yellow weeds to watch them grow strong and be infused with life and energy.
Shanghai in April is bright and beautiful, with a pleasant climate for sightseeing. But if you have seen enough common flowers in local parks or ordinary flower markets, try some of the exotic flowers, plants and gardening supplies from across the globe.
Loyal fans of Hortiflorexpo IPM Shanghai (HIS), would often set aside work to visit the expo that is held in Shanghai in April every odd year. HIS opens a window to professional Chinese people or insiders to see and feel the floral world and to exchange ideas and business.
There are always new products and ikebana shows throughout the three-day-exhibition, where ikebana masters share, arrange and present the latest flower arrangement trend and skills. Visitors would be enlightened or inspired to do their own DIY pieces of art afterwards, and there will be an interesting home garden forum where people can not only learn of experiences shared by real horticulture lovers but also get a number of flower or horticultural gifts.
As women, we need to be good to ourselves, don't we?
