| I don't think it is all Shanghainese girl that is marrying the foreigners. How about it is a trend started from oversea, such as USA. Since the 60's, the GI with the Vietnam girls? In 90's, it is almost like a fashion statement to have a Wall Street Banker type walk around with an Asian girl. There are genuine love involve too, I am not discounting the fact that there are girls in China who married foreigners for a ticket out of China, or they think they are getting out of proverty. The grass is always greener on the other side. I meet a few of these girls here. One in particular, she was actually from Beijing, she married a Born-Again Christian from Nebraska, she is miserable. She used to work in a TV station in Beijing, and now, she is living in rural America, missing all her shopping, and friends. I did not ask how she meet her husband, but I have a feeling that she meet him through one of those mail order bride thing. So, who is suffering the most in these case? They both do, he can not satisfy her material demand, she felt like she was cheated out of a good life. To each of their own, no one should make judgement about other people's choices, right? |
