Xu Ke is actually from Nanjing, my hometown... I remember back in school, one of my male best friends was chatting in our dorm and told me they all thought Nanjing girls were difficult to deal with. Let's put it this way: in our area, they don't usually give dowries, and sometimes the girls even pay more, so most of the girls are quite independent, especially after receiving higher education. To some people living in the Qing Dynasty, that's naturally unacceptable—a feminist view, utterly rebellious. When you don't know them, they all seem very hot-tempered, but once you get to know them offline, they usually become good friends.
