When I walk down the street in Beijing during summer, I often find it quite difficult to get where I’m going. Why? Because of all the umbrellas in my way.
Before I came to China, I’d never seen people carrying umbrellas on sunny days. But in China, many women carry umbrellas when it’s not raining. What is the purpose?
I found that there are many reasons for this. Firstly, it protects people from the sun’s rays (光线). Many Chinese cities get hot in summer. People sometimes carry umbrellas to stay cool. But wait a second. If umbrellas can help us stay cool, why don’t I ever see men carrying them?
That brings us to the second reason—blocking the sun helps women’s skin stay pale (白皙的). In China, many people think pale white skin is more beautiful than tanned (晒成棕褐色的) skin. Cosmetics (化妆品) companies even sell special creams and powders (香粉) to make your skin look whiter.
Women in the USA, on the other hand, actually prefer to be tan. It’s considered more beautiful there. Some people will lie outdoors in the sun for hours to get a tan. But doing this too much can be dangerous, as the sun’s rays are bad for your skin.
And as it turns out, China isn’t the only place where women carry umbrellas during summer. Women in Greece are also known to carry umbrellas to protect themselves from the sun. So there you have it—umbrellas aren’t just for rainy days. However, I don’t think I’m going to start carrying one anytime soon.
