    ¡ª¡ª"That's what you think, right?"

    ¡ª¡ª"How dare I have any ideas."

    Zhang Fan originally planned to continue talking, but after thinking about it, he felt that now is not the time, some things don't care about a day or two.

    After Zhang Fan sent Chu Lihua home, he left.

    Sure enough, when Chu Lihua opened the love group, she saw Tang Zhi posting in the group that someone attempted to commit suicide by jumping into the river on a certain bridge, and the reason was that her family forced her into a marriage.

    This reason, however, surprised Chu Lihua.

    She remembered a piece of news that she didn't know was true or false.

    "There is a 27-year-old girl in our community who is scolded by her parents every day and can't find a partner. Her parents ask others to introduce her to her everywhere, and then list all the advantages of her daughter as a selling point. It is really condescending to say that. The whole community knows her  The girl¡¯s educational background, professional income, height, and unmarried status. The girl left a letter and committed suicide.¡± At the end of March 2016, a piece of news that ¡°the girl committed suicide by jumping off a building because her parents forced her into marriage¡± spread all over the Internet.

    However, after occupying Weibo's hot search list for a while, the news was deleted.  This passage was broadcast by a netizen on Douban, but soon, the original netizen couldn't find it either.  According to legend, the girl who committed suicide left her last words asking her parents to arrange suicide.  Fortunately, she was rescued.

    ? Although the news can no longer be verified or falsified, many comments from netizens still remain online:

    "Because if you don't get married, you are a waste with no social value."

    "Sometimes I really have this kind of crazy idea. You think my life is not yours, so I will give it back to you. Don't owe anyone, and don't meet each other in the next life."

    "The same was forced into marriage, and was devalued by parents' verbal violence. Now as long as he is a man, they all feel good."

    "Now I suffer from insomnia and can't sleep well every day, and I always have headaches. I used to be a silly girl, but now I don't eat all day, and I don't want to do anything"

    "Chinese-style forced marriage" is defined in Baidu Encyclopedia as "parents using threats and violence to force their children to marry".  "Forced marriages during festive seasons" and "forced marriages are fiercer than tigers". Once the children pass the legal age of marriage and there is no movement, Chinese parents usually automatically switch to forced marriages.

    Some force blind dates, some make insinuations, some play the filial piety card, and some play tricks This has become one of the most common phenomena in the relationship between parents and children in contemporary Chinese cities.

    Chinese-style forced marriage is a social phenomenon resulting from the intertwining and collision of intergenerational concept differences, emotional anxiety, and real social pressure. It is also a China in a period of social transformation, and concepts, systems, and structures are undergoing unprecedented changes.  It is the result of the increasing contrast in people's understanding of values, feelings, family and security.

    It has become a major crux of the contemporary parent-child relationship that cannot be ignored.

    Now, there are still several months before the Chinese New Year!

    People of different age groups have different feelings about the Spring Festival.

    Children are the happiest, because there are firecrackers, delicious food, new clothes and red envelopes, so they are relaxed and stress-free; most of the people who feel pain are young people, who have all kinds of anxiety and pressure; the elderly will also feel pain if they are not reunited with their children.  It would be so much better if the kids were back together.

    One of the most stressful things for young people is forced marriage. Before the Spring Festival, the topic of forced marriage was the most discussed.  But why did the Spring Festival turn into a forced marriage ceremony for young people?

    There are simple practical reasons for this.  It's the Spring Festival, young people return to their parents, and have the time and space to be nagged by their parents and family members.  There are various reunions during the Spring Festival, and it also gives the three aunts and six wives a chance to discuss.

    Our culture is still a fertility culture, with special emphasis on fertility; we often say filial piety also says: "There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and having no offspring is the greatest."

    Historian Zhang Hongjie wrote in his "The Evolution of Chinese National Character":

    Kinship ties, ancestor worship, and despotism were common features of early human societies, from Europe to Asia.

    However, when the clan system disintegrated in Europe, it had already broken the concept of ancestor worship and turned to God, who had established a contract with mankind, as a new spiritual pillar.  However, China has never broken through the bottleneck of blood relationship society.

    Therefore, there are many similarities between traditional Chinese society and some backward tribes in southern Africa or Oceania today.

    Taiwanese scholar Sun Longji stated in his book "The Deep Structure of Chinese Culture" that under the fertility culture and clan culture, a person is incomplete and cannot constitute the basic social unit of existence.  Older leftover girls, just wait with the lunatics.Like everyone else, they will be excluded from the family system, lack the right to speak, and their material interests will be ignored.  You must marry and have children to form a complete family, and then this family will constitute a recognized social unit and exist in the social and family system.

    This explanation is very powerful. If society has been like this for thousands of years, then of course it will become a deep imprint, imprinted deep in our subconscious mind.  Even though we are not consciously aware of it, it becomes a very basic anxiety.

    Is this just another "I'm doing it for your own good, you'll figure it out later" thing that parents do to accomplish what they see as a mission?

    Culture is not just culture, but a living reality. Our fertility culture and clan culture exert a huge influence on young people through the Spring Festival, and draw them, who are becoming more and more individualistic, into childbirth and family culture.  in the common imagination of the clan.

    But this kind of influence, I'm afraid it will become more and more difficult.  Urbanization and globalization not only broaden the horizons of young people, but also provide various conditions, so that everyone has more and more opportunities to live according to their own wishes, instead of having to live as one  Sample.

    Be your own master,

    in charge of the body,

    Also takes over the soul.

    Be your own master,

    make a choice,

    Also bear the consequences.

    Be your own master,

    On my behalf,

    Be accountable to God.

    Be your own master,

    In the hustle and bustle,

    Listen to your inner voice.

    Chu Lihua's dream from a long time ago appeared in her mind.

    ¡ª¡ª"One year later, we will meet."

    Now, there are less than two months left.

    It can be seen that that person is not Zhang Fan.

    If it wasn't for him, then you should stay away from him and stop thinking about it earlier.

    Marriage is supposed to have a spiritual support, not to get married for the sake of getting married.

    Fortunately, I don't go home for the New Year.

    Marriage urging on the phone is no longer something to be afraid of.

    When thinking of this, Chu Lihua actually began to slowly become confused.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
