When I walk down the street in Beijing during the summer, I often find it quite d to get where I'm going because there are all umbrellas in my way.
Before I come to China, I'd never seen people carrying umbrellas on s days. But in China, women carry umbrellas when it's not raining.
I found that there are many r for this. Firstly, it protects people a the sun's rays (光线). In summer, many Chinese cities get hot. People sometimes carry umbrellas to stay cool.
But wait a second. If umbrellas can help us stay cool, why haven't I ever seen men carrying t?
That brings us to the s reason – blocking the sun helps women's skin (皮肤) stay pale. In China, pale white skin is t to be more beautiful than tanned (晒成棕褐色的) skin. Cosmetics (化妆品) companies even sell special creams to make the skin l whiter.
However, in the US, women p to be tan. It's considered more beautiful there. Some people even lie outdoors in the sun for hours to get a tan. But doing this too much can be d, as the sun's rays are bad for the skin.
