Beijing's Dating Fairs

2 Mayl 2007

Guess these girls line up waiting for what? A job interview? A fashion award? None of these. They are waiting for a love letter.

On the May Day, thousands people attended a dating fairs at Beijing’s Shijinshan district, especially tailored for so-called “white-collars” (白领). The dating park is divided into a dozen or so domains with the names sounded like something copied from job fairs, such as Post-Graduation area (硕博 for those with either a master’s degree or Ph.D), Overseas Qualifications area (海归区), Public Servants area, Teachers area.

In a way, it does like a business expo. The candidates post their personal profiles along with a photo and brief description of their ideal match on the board, and everyone browses around to find a suitable target to conduct an initial interview.

Apparently, the girls seemed to be keener than the boys. When they were asked by the organizers to display their talents to impress their potential partners, most of them got down to business seriously and gave it their best shot. The boys just watched, passively, preferred to be an audience rather than a reality show judge; just a few who were brave enough to deliver a love message to the girl he had a crush on. And that is why the girls lined up waiting anxiously.

The dating fairs will be concluded at the end of the "golden holiday" season, alegedly. (Source report: 法制晚报)
