For how long can the marriage built upon money be sustained? Li, 41- year-old, got divorced many years ago. After the divorce, he left Shanxi, a city he had lived for more than 35 years, and found a job in Beijing then next job in Guangzhou. He finally got tired of this kind of uncertain life, looking forward to settle down and form a family. However, every time I wanted to set him up with some women who seemed eligible to him, he refused to come out for a date without giving me a solid reason. Nonetheless, I sensed to some degree that he was afraid that his economic status was not good enough to attract females – not owning an auto and a house. When you are afraid of the financial future, you don’t want to make a commitment. My sentiment was proven right by the fact that he got married soon after he bought a car and house with the help of his sister who is a rich Chinese migrant to Australia. The point is, for how long can the marriage built upon money be sustained?
