Ingenious ways to propose
www.chinanews.cn 2005-03-07 14:18:40
Chinanews, March 7 - These days young Chinese are living their lives any
way they want. On the one hand, their parents have little to teach them
in this respect, or at least from their youthful eyes. On the other hand,
the ever-growing material wealth has made the spiritual aspect of their
lives somewhat commercialized.
When the spiritual life is materialized, anything goes. Romance can be
made. Love may be a feeling from within, but it can also be created or
plotted with materials.
In a plain word, plotted romance is a setup, or a show.
Nowadays, showmen are showing up in love scenes. Young people have
invented a variety of individualized ways to either propose for marriage
or express their love. These passionate shows involve elaborate planning
and have strong dramatic effects. We call them "shows of romance".
Some people regard such game-like romance shows as a breakthrough in
expressing love from the Chinese people's traditional implicit and
reserved expressions. On the one hand the phrase "show-making" means that
love should be romantic, on the other hand it is indicative that most of
the Chinese people are not romantic enough. From this perspective,
hopefully such show of love would stir up the Chinese people's some times
dull and uninspiring ways of love expression.
