The blind date with Chinese style. About Chinese marriage culture (1)

This is a very big and difficult topic.
With China's economic development, improvement of people's quality of life and economic conditions, more and more singles on the other half of the demand is also improving. These groups, their marriage have higher expectations and requirements.
Since ancient times in China, there is blind date phenomenon. In ancient times, conducted by matchmaker matchmaking dating.
This is an Chinese old saying "the command of parents, the words of a match-maker", means the parents arranged for their children to marry persons and they don't have the right to choose their love one.Today has been quite different, Love is free. If their condition is good, will choose a match of their lives, and eventually to get married.
Jealousy from person to person, compare ideas, more and more. many singles are looking for "The other half of love", However, in the 21st century, the number of singles more and more , and so High frequency dating.
In fact, they have too high expectations for the future and asking for things too much, and some factors from Parents or relatives, they told their children to marry the various requirements will be high . so, with having many dating. In the whole process of going on a blind date, a lots of interesting things may occur.
Also, these groups ways and means to know each other has become a diversification.
Here, I call this phenomenon called "Chinese-style blind date".
Romance in China is often sacrificed to practicality. dating has largely become a commercial transaction. In Beijing parents gather in parks to introduce their children to one another. Singles’ clubs set people up according to requirements — height, income, education level, property. And tens of thousands descend on matchmaking events in cities like Shanghai looking for the perfect mate.

  


About "Leftover Women"
For Chinese men today, being the perfect mate means having a car, an apartment, a good salary and, preferably, a tall stature. Women, meanwhile, must be married by 27; after that they are branded sheng nu or “leftover women.” (This derogatory term — whose prefix “sheng” is the same word used in “leftover food” — was listed as a new word in 2007 by the Chinese Ministry of Education).


Matchmaking — through work units and family — was, and still is, commonplace. The one-child policy has further reinforced these expectations. With no welfare system in China, the young are expected to provide for the old: whom you marry matters for your entire family.

Above explanation comes from the New York Times.

About "Single dog"

It is Network terms, refers to the long-term single male and especially no love or no married people. Is a mockery of singles, even a lot of people to laugh at themselves.

Xiu En Ai(The Chinese euphony, means:Your relationships with loved ones or friends, live show) is dangerous. Claiming to be single dog is safe.
