How do Chinese Parks work? Why are they selling WIVES?

Chinese parks are quite a different sort of experience, other than being a place for people to try and sell off their sons and daughters for marriage to other families, it's the only place people are really able to go out and practice their kung fu, dancing, singing, musical instruments etc. Of course there are the regular activities such as having a picnic, hiking and playing sports (as well as some boating and fishing) available as well. Come and join Sasha and I as we get the low down on how Chinese parks work.
The primary goal of attending the marriage market is for parents to find a suitable partner for their child. The standards of finding the right match may be based upon (but not limited to) age, height, job, income, education, family values, Chinese zodiac sign, and personality. All of this information is written on a piece of paper, which is then hung upon long strings among other parents' advertisements for their children. The parents walk around chatting with other parents to see if there is a harmonious fit only after their children's standards are met.
Umbrellas used for advertising
Many parents do not have permission from their child to go to this event. It has been described as "match.com meets farmers' market" with a low success rate. In many parents' eyes, parent matchmaking gatherings such as the Marriage Market are the only way to uphold a traditional dating style for their children in modern China. China's long idealized tradition of continuing their family lineage is very important within Chinese culture. As the children of the One Child Policy start to become of typical marriage age, the so-called marriage "market" of China has wavered in stability, particularly for males in China. The University of Kent predicts that by the year 2020, 24 million men will be unmarried and unable to find a wife.
Recently, well-educated women in China with established careers are in less of a hurry to get married. They have more options than women in past generations and are not afraid to put their career first. This change in marriage ideology puts the women in a higher position of power within a traditionally male-dominated society. Now more women seek to find a responsible man with personal integrity instead of just a high paying job.
Many men's standards have changed with the progression of women's status in the work industry as well, they expect a woman that has been educated and well on her way to a career path. But what has drastically changed is the older generations viewpoint on the subject-they agree with the younger generation, with the two most important qualities in a wife being "elegance and a decent career path," quite a change from "diligence and the willingness to suffer the burden of life".

    Richard Li You do not have anything better than troll a gentleman's video insinuating false facts about his character ? Let me guess you are Winston's personal doctor .... I doubt that seriously as I would think being married to Sasha a doctor she would be his doctor ... Before you even reply back saying he had an STD before he met her let me point out in China you can not get married with life long STD's ... In regards to the places he goes if you looked at Winston's video you would know he does not like to go where the tourists frequent ... As far as dodgy places he may or may not go just because he goes to them does not mean he partakes in any of the dodgy services in them . Just because you can not restrain your actions around such places does not mean Winston can not ... Just pack up your belongings into your handkerchief tie it on a stick and go elsewhere... You and your other troll cronies can better benefit this channel and the loyal subscribers of it by hitting the road 🙄

Although I can somewhat see where you are coming from However if we are to use an exemplum; a person in a certain country goes to the government office to get something done and the worker there says he can do it quicker for a gift. That gift is naught more than a bribe in reality. A bride price in reality is a price on the bride (who knew), now that doesn't mean that's bad, but to say that something that involves price and a transaction of wealth for something isn't "buying" and "selling" is ludicrous. Now it can be that it is done with a symbolic price in that case it is just tradition.

    @@captainlafty4606 Marriage in many cultures involve exchange of money and gifts. It seems arbitrary to label one as a tradition and the other a business transaction. What was described here in the park is more of a dating gathering without the Internet. No money was involved in that specific process. You don't take off the poster and pay the other grandmother right then and there. They exchange contact info and tell their grandkids afterwards about this new guy/girl they found in the park. The real issue here is grandparents reduce their grandchildren into education, properties, salary, career and appearance. That's the sad part. Now, there are actual cases where Asian women being kidnapped and sold to men in other countries or regions. That's the real selling and buying of wives.

I've noticed some Chinese speaking english where it's evident that they are very advanced in their mimicking of the American accent. But every time they slip in the vocabulary or the sentence structure, their whole accent comes across as artificial. For me, this makes them look disingenuous. Sasha your english is awesome, your accent is absolutely adorable and makes your personality shine through. The same way that any person should do (native or non-native, myself included) continue advancing your vocabulary but don't bother trying to change the accent. Even native speakers have a large variety of accents and there are plenty that have horrible vocabulary. Be proud of where you are. You've done great!

Since China is really so evil, why do foreigners living in China not go back to their own country, must they feel distressed in China? The psychology of masochism, is it? Haha. These losers, eat Chinese food, drink Chinese water, play with Chinese immature young girls, and then fucking to make some one-sided subjective videos for you to insult and smash. Fuck these rubbish. What qualifications do they have for discussing China? They should go back to their original shit and expose those who don't dare to go out at night, sucking marijuana and keep saying: "I need more freedom! God bless me tomorrow I can continue to live. "The idiot. Haha, all the bad things in China can be fucking and related to the Communist Party? ! To be honest, you are not just hating the Communist Party. The Soviet Union was disintegrated. Does the West forgive Russia? Answer: No. The motives of the West are simple. They don't want to see the developing and growing countries grow and develop so that they can better exploit other countries to serve them. Of course, this does not mean that I hate foreigners who are honest and friendly in China. In addition, there is no perfect country in the world. How do you evaluate your country?

And their vending machines and small shops are so advanced in terms of payment methods. On the other hand, Wechat customer service is unreachable if you need anything.

    I agree with you and your wife about parks. :) This year my wife and I went with friends to a thousand year old temple on a hill that sits 1900 meters. It was pretty much a straight up the mountain climb...all stairs. We got to 1300 meters and decided the 1900 temple would have to wait for another day. What did see, and you should show this in one of your videos is we saw an 80 year grandma carrying her 2 year old grand kid up to the 1300 meter mark. In in the west it would be rare for us to see. I saw a lot of Chinese older folks walking the great wall last year. If you have done the great wall showing people what it's really like would be another great video...its nothing like what people see in the pictures. I know I have walked it. :)

And if the son or daughter still not seeing anyone, the parent will try to get involve and here you have the parents in the park posing their son or daughter bio, its a match making like your friends finder online. Besides its free and genuine rather then many match making agency(they cost you a lot and there are many scam agency too)

The cultural differences will keep things exciting / different / out of the mundane for many many years, you just have to be patient with each other if translation / miscommunication issues occur.

Being from Canada, I didn't appreciate the value of a space like this in the heart of such a huge urban center.
