In China some women are getting trained to be personal bodyguards. With China growing and the gap between rich and poor becoming bigger, Chinese women want to seek personal protection. They say they feel safer with a women and being their bodyguard than a man. This is because they attract less attention, and can be seen as just a friend rather than a bodyguard. Having a female bodyguard means the bodyguard does not have to stay outside the room guarding. They can be inside the room and make it more comfortable for the person being protected. Wen Cui who was mugged twice on business trip, opened a personal security business called Guodun. This is where the female bodyguards get trained for six months. They learn several different skills including Kung Fu and first aid. As the economy is building up and China is becoming more progressive some, anger is still growing as some are not a part of the celebration.

It is amazing to see women work up the social ladder. Though some may be scared to try different thing and go against there parents' wishes; they are going ahead and doing what they believe is right. We always associate men and women in different categories for different kinds of work. Such as cooking is usually associated with women, but what we don't realize is that there are a certain number of men who love to cook. We also fail to realize that some women hate to cook but are forced to. No human should be judged in what he or she like to do or not do, but should be given the opportunity to learn and grown. I always imagined bodyguards to be strong built men in black uniform. This article proves that what men can do women can do as well. If I had a male bodyguard, people would know that he is protecting me. Having a female bodyguard would make me feel more comfortable and people would not know that she is a bodyguard.
