On March 19, 2017, in Nanning City, Guangxi, on weekends, the "Dating Corner" at the Jiuquqiao Pavilion Square in Nanning People's Park was filled with blind date materials. Parents who came to help their children on blind dates gathered around these materials.

After checking, there are hundreds of marriage recruitment forms hanging in the square. Each marriage recruitment form lists the age, height, education, hobbies and requirements for a spouse.

The reporter noticed that some marriage application forms also indicate "mother (father) on site", and interested parties can have direct interviews.

Parents who come for a blind date also bring photos of their children with them. If they think they are suitable, they will show them to the other party.

The details are as follows: More middle-aged and elderly people appear at the "Dating Corner", and their children's marriage issues have become the focus of their lives.

They hung the marriage application form with their children's information on the rope at the scene, and stood aside to carefully look at everyone who came to see the marriage application form.

Occasionally, some new faces will appear on the scene with a marriage application form, which will lead to the parents who are matching their children to ask, "What is your child's name?" "How old is it?" and "Where does he work?"

Many parents say that when running errands for their children to go on a blind date, the most important thing is that the other person has a stable job and is a stable person.

"I chose to come here because I feel the information here is more authentic and I can communicate face to face." Ms. Lin, who came to help her daughter on a blind date, has been "stationed" at the blind date corner for several years. Although there are many people coming for blind dates, she still wants to find her daughter.

For a man who is satisfied with his parents, "authenticity" alone is not enough.

"I hope that my son-in-law is stable, has goals, and has a stable job. In addition, my daughter also pays attention to her good taste." She said that sometimes she likes many suitable young men, but her daughter's requirements are not consistent with hers.

The "good thing" has just been put on hold, and my daughter's life-long events have also been put on hold until now.

Ms. Huang started going to the "Blind Match Corner" for her daughter last year to go on blind dates. At first, she was afraid of being scolded so she only dared to come there in private. However, her daughter has gradually accepted this method of finding a spouse.

Ms. Huang told reporters, "The social circle of children now is too narrow. If we don't help them go out and look for each other, will they always be alone?" Some young people expressed helplessness about parents running errands for their children to go on blind dates, but they were unwilling to disobey their parents.

the meaning of.

"Who can guarantee the authenticity of the information on the marriage application form? How can a lifelong decision be made based on just a marriage application form?" Ms. Zhang, who was brought to the scene by her family, said that her parents were very keen to help her go on a blind date out of understanding.

Due to the painstaking efforts of my parents, their attitude has changed from being strongly opposed at the beginning to now letting things take its course.

"Come here to try your luck, maybe you can meet your future partner." The reporter learned that according to incomplete statistics, from January this year to now, the "Dating Corner" in People's Park has produced 15 new couples.

Three more couples are about to get married in December.
