They told me a theory---“Boys should marry a girl who lives far away from him and girls should marry a guy whose home is closer to hers.” They believe that the children of the boys who marry a girl who lives far away from him are smarter. To them, it is not a belief. It is the truth. They convinced me with an example. A boy born in their village was as smart as they thought. When he was around 5 years old, he took the plane alone to Xinjiang to see his grandparents. Very brave! For girls, they can visit or take care of their parents very often if they get married with a guy who lives not far from her home. Thus, my uncle and aunt tried to persuade my sister to come back home. Do you think it is reasonable?

The previous part says that boys should marry a girl who is far away from him and the latter part says girls should marry a guy who is closer to her. If boys follow this theory and marry girls who are far away from them, how could girls find a guy who is closer to her? The boys won't marry a girl who is closer to him.

It is from parents' perspective. For sons, they should marry girls who are far away from them. For daughters, they should marry a guy who is closer to her. Am I right, Lonely?

Sometimes parents are selfish, they want their sons to carry on the family name and also want the next generation to be smart. They also want the daughters to take care of them when they are old. Then how about others’sons and daughters who will be the daughter in-law or son in-law?

Bravo! very interesting. I heard that if parents are from two faraway places, their children will be smarter, the far the better. I m not sure if it is true. If so, maybe I would consider find one who comes somewhere from the lat.35 in South hemisphere.

A paradox if a family have a boy and a girl.
Should i say Girls are considerate that they care more about their parents? But it is true in my family, and my parents think so. Every parents try to do good for their children.
