Chinanews, Jinan, October 18 – Ms Du, who works1 in a law firm in Jinan, Shandong Province, was very glad to hear that her daughter, a college junior, had her first boyfriend, and happiness was shared by her husband.

 

Traditionally2, Chinese believe it is improper3 for young people not well settled4 into careers of their own to think about love affair, but today they find it in a different light, as it has become more and more difficult for young people to find marriage partners after their heart after they leave college.

 

“Just take a look at those over-crowded dating parties today and you’ll know it is necessary for young people to think about marriage early. By the way, I know several good girls without boyfriend,” said Du.

 

“We thought that there would be nothing to worry about if my kid works hard enough, but now he is just too busy to have a girlfriend,” complained another parent.

 

According5 to several dating agencies6 in Jinan, a lot of parents of young people in their early 20s have already signed up for services of the matchmaking agencies. The situation is really difficult.
