According to Chinese custom, when a baby turns one month old, a ceremony is held to celebrate her first full month of life (the Chinese term translates as "full moon" or "full month"). This coincides with the end of the new mum's confinement period, and both mother and baby are formally introduced to the extended family and friends. For many of them, this will be the first time they are meeting the new baby.

Before the unveiling party, the baby traditionally undergoes a host of rituals. Once that is over, a party is held to celebrate the health of the baby. Relatives and friends gather to give their blessings and gifts to the new baby, and traditional treats such as ang ku kueh and red eggs are on the menu.

Full moon parties today run the gamut from full-fledged catered events, with a buffet spread for guests, to smaller family-only get-togethers. Parents normally host the celebration at home if they have the space, or book and rent a venue (hotel or large restaurant) to accommodate everyone.

Traditional foods: Ang ku kueh and red eggs

Traditional cakes and eggs, dyed red to symbolise luck and blessings, are given or sent to relatives and friends. Eggs are chosen as they represent fertility and their shape symbolises harmony. It is believed that if you have a boy, you give out an odd number of eggs; if you have a girl, you give out an even number of eggs.

According to word of mouth on Hokkien tradition, if you have a son, plain round ang ku kuehs (red glutinous peanut cakes) are given out, and if you have a girl, you mould the ang ku into the traditional tortoise moulds, which are more intricate and delicate.

In bigger cities such as Kuala Lumpur, you can now find catering companies, trendy cafes and even bakeries that provide full moon packages. They have a menu according to your budget, but will usually include traditional ang ku and red eggs. Some food options include cakes, chocolate, glutinous rice cakes, cupcakes and pastries. Some outfits even provide delivery of customised food boxes.

Baby's first hair cut

Tradition also dictates that you shave your baby's head, although most parents don't observe this practice anymore. Instead, they trim a little bit of hair off, to symbolise the shedding of the birth hair (sometimes referred to as "hair from the womb"). After the first hair cut, both the mother and the baby bathe in water mixed with pomelo leaves, to wash off any evil vibes.

You are meant to wrap your baby's hair in a piece of red cloth and sew it to his pillow to help calm him down. Some traditional-minded parents who shave the baby's entire head will use the hair from this first hair cut to make a special calligraphy brush, engraved with wishes of wisdom, health and happiness.

Gifts, jewellery and ang pau

During the full moon celebration, relatives and friends will give money in ang paus (red packets) and jewellery to the baby. Today, parents and the newborn receive modern gifts too, such as baby clothes, toys, books and gift vouchers. It's like a Western baby shower, only celebrated a month later!

Naming your baby

Another practice is dressing your baby up in gold-coloured attire and "presenting" him to his deceased paternal grandparents at the prayer or family altar. If you haven't named your baby yet, tradition dictates that the paternal grandfather picks a suitable name.

Choosing your baby's name is an important Chinese custom as it is believed it will determine your baby's character. Some parents even consult a fortune teller to help them pick a prosperous name.

A high female suicide rate continued to be a serious problem. According to the World Bank and the World Health Organization, there were approximately 500 female suicides per day in 2009. The Beijing Suicide Research and Prevention Center reported in 2009 that the suicide rate for females was three times higher than for males. Many observers believed that violence against women and girls, discrimination in education and employment, the traditional preference for male children, birth-limitation policies, and other societal factors contributed to the high female suicide rate. Women in rural areas, where the suicide rate for women was three to four times higher than for men, were especially vulnerable.

Stop for a minute and think about it: 500 female suicides per day in 2009. That’s 3,500 suicides per week. Fifteen thousand per month; 182,500 suicides per year. If the rate has remained constant throughout the years, we are looking at millions of females taking their own lives in a matter of decades.

Stop for a minute and think about it: 500 female suicides per day in 2009. That’s 3,500 suicides per week.

The World Health organization put together a table to show the suicide rates per 100,000 by country and gender, using the most recent information available to them in 2011. There were only two other countries listed with higher female suicide rates than China: Korea and Sri Lanka. There were forty-seven countries listed with higher male suicide rates than China. Among these were many European countries, the United States, and Canada.

There was only one other country listed (other than China, of course) that had a higher female suicide rate than male suicide rate. That country was Sao Tome and Principe. (If you have never heard of that country, don’t worry. I hadn’t either. It’s an island off the west coast of central Africa.) This country reported no male suicides and a very small amount of female suicides.

So what is it about China that makes it have 1) one of the highest female suicide rates in the world and 2) a female suicide rate that is higher than the male suicide rate?

The people of China have had a difficult modern history. There was the Cultural Revolution and the embracing of Communism. The Communist regime, while promising freedom and wealth to all, actually accomplished the opposite. But think about it: China isn’t the only country that has experienced a difficult past. Eastern Europe took a similar path to China’s and embraced Communism, causing a decline in its respective countries’ economies. There are many third-world countries that deal with poverty and need day in and day out. Plus, in recent years China has been opening up, becoming more modern, and even choosing to be more relaxed in its policies. You would think that these new trends would have the effect of bringing down the suicide rate.

What is one thing that differentiates China from the rest of the world? The One Child Policy. Imagine a woman aborting her child because that child is female, and then imagine that woman having to live with the guilt of her decision. Imagine a woman who desperately wants her daughter, but has that daughter forcibly stripped from her womb. Imagine a Chinese girl growing up knowing that her parents wished she were a boy, because then she would have a greater value. Imagine young girls being kidnapped and sold as brides. This does not sound like preservation of the value and dignity of a female life. This sounds like hopelessness and despair. And China’s female suicide rate proves it.
