I don't know if an old Mr. Sun is more acceptable than an old Mrs Sun, if "age" belongs to the discrimination too...
because it could count on the salary.
and we arrive on another problem of discrimination..

Re^19: Women in China
So by deduction :
Advice for Asian women who wish to apply for a job in German or in France : just put your photo on the CV and nothing else ! BTW, it will go directly to the dustbin, don't spend time to resume your life. :-P

Re^22: Women in China
I know that some female friends of mine in Taiwan had a interview with questions about their blood group, their weight, their height, and their astrology sign too...
As in France, some recruiters still practice graphology.
We're getting silly soon...
That's why more and more people do the job of seer...

Probably not directly related but maybe (historically) also interesting: I just found (another) Chinese trivia in my inbox. It's 河东狮吼 and it is used to describe a woman who is very bossy and perhaps cruel to her husband (maybe our Chinese members know this chenyu?).
Here are some more explanations from xianzai.com:
The Story: In the Song Dynasty, there was a scholar named Chen Zao. He called himself 'Mr. Dragon Hill'. He was very hospitable and often gathered his friends to have parties at home and called some singing girls for fun. His wife Liu was very unhappy and jealous about this. When she heard the girls' songs, Liu would use sticks to hit the wall and shout in the next room, and all the guests had to leave then.
Chen Zao feared his wife very much, and everyone knew this. His good friend Su Dongpo one day joked with him and wrote a poem: "Mr. Dragon Hill is a pathetic man; chatting with friends until midnight; suddenly a lioness' roar comes from the east bank; he was perplexed and dropped his stick to the ground."
Later the line 'lioness roars from the east bank' was used to describe a bossy woman, especially a wife.
Usage Example (Pinyin): Ma(3) shang(4) hui(2) jia(1), yao(4) bu ni(3) men(2) jia(1) you(4) he(2) dong(1) shi(1) hou(3) le.
Usage Example (English translation): Go home right now, otherwise there will be a lioness roaring from the east bank of the river in your family.

Re^25: Women in China
hahaha, it just reminds me the comic film of 张柏芝 and 古天乐...which name is exactly 河东狮哄.. For those who live in Asia and haven't seen it, it could give you a view of the history.
Thus, it doesn't mean that every chinese woman treats her husband this way....Far from this..
