Cici's notebook ：in china，in most cases, a guy must own a house and car to marry a girl I dont know what the situaton is in your country, but in China, in most cases, a guy must own a house or a dapartment and a car to marry a girl. The topic of girls are too realistic and material is very popular in China. If you have a look at Chinese dating ad, you can find that there is lots of them are like this:" I looks handsome and sucessful in business, and I own a house and a car....." It is said that in europe is not the case. A female white-collar who have a high income may marry a repair work as long as they love each other. In my view, it is romantic but it will lead to a high divorce rate. Why is such thing rarely happens in China ? I think there are 3 points as follow: 1, It is the traditional thing 2, insurance benefits are not perfect in China, we need to save money in case the hospital bills. If they have a house after marrid, the life pressure will be ruduced. (they dont need to pay the mortage of the house ) 3,you may ask : you can rent an apartment . we may feel steady if we own a house it means home.
