With the development of the times, people's work and entertainment methods have undergone tremendous changes: whether it is work, study or entertainment, it can all be done online, which has indirectly affected the marital status of young people, causing their social circles to shrink and making it difficult for them to make boyfriends or girlfriends in real life.
Marriage and childbirth are the foundation of human reproduction. In the eyes of the older generation, people must get married when they reach a certain age, otherwise life will not be complete. So they try their best to arrange blind dates for their children in order to help them find a good partner. However, highly educated young people do not think so. They feel that they can live a good life on their own and there is no need to get married and have children, let alone go on blind dates.
In the game of matchmaking, parents are assertive, and children are stubborn.
Xiaomin is a high school teacher in Guangdong. Because she teaches a class that prepares for the college entrance examination, she has to get up early and work late every day to supervise students' studies, prepare lessons, grade homework, and guide students. Although the busy work is hard, she feels very satisfied when she sees her students' grades improving day by day.
However, 28-year-old Xiaomin is a "loser" in love. With her approaching 30, her parents are more anxious than anyone else. Every now and then, they ask matchmakers to find several men to arrange blind dates for their daughter so that she can get married as soon as possible.
However, Xiaomin was extremely averse to blind dates, not only because she had no intention of getting married, but also because the men she met were all very "weird": some were only 160cm tall and ugly, yet demanded that women be beautiful and not too short; some required women to give up their careers after marriage and stay at home as "good wives and mothers"; some were like "children who hadn't grown up," playing games during blind dates; some had incompatible values, and a day's conversation felt like a debate...
However, each time Xiaomin failed a blind date, her parents only thought she was "too picky" and relentlessly criticized her. Under this forceful "loving control" from her parents, Xiaomin felt increasing pressure, her rebellious tendencies grew stronger, and ultimately, the parent-child relationship became increasingly strained…
In blind dates, parents typically choose partners for their children based on criteria such as "stable and reliable," while young people usually prefer partners who "share similar values, are interesting, and have a strong personality." However, many parents today are unusually domineering when it comes to their children's romantic relationships. They guide their children's emotions with an attitude of "I don't care what you think, I care what I think," which makes young people feel depressed and frustrated.
