[quote=WANHU,500611]Dear Kevin It's a Chinese tradition that parents start to worry when their children of a marrying age do not have girlfriends/boyfriends. They would go all the way to even introduce partners for their children to choose. Being filial to parents it is hard for them to say no and keep their disagreement in their chests, enduring the pressure silently. I am lucky to have a parent that did not impose such a tradition, from a family of 10 (and I'm no. 9) we have the option to marry or not to marry because my parent understood that it is her children's life and not hers. When we wanted to get married we showed her our intended spouses for her blessing and consent on the day we got engaged. In my society, parents do play role in their children's marriage because they want the best for them and their future life, but they never impose hardship on them because they understand of the generation gap. Like in my previous responses, we can't impose Montessori style for our preschoolers, education in the 50's to be accepted in this new millenium but it is good to blend. As I were never in your shoes I don't feel why should I be embarrassed for not being married or having no girlfriend. Maybe because I am old though not ancient. Wan[/quote]
