Chinanews, Shanghai, Oct. 18 - According to the lunar calendar, China has two springs this year. In addition, this year is also the Year of the Dog, which is traditionally regarded as a lucky year. For this reason, many young people in Shanghai prefer to take the opportunity in a rush to get married.
In China, such quick marriage is also called flash marriage. Under the flash marriage, young couple, after have got to know each other for only a couple of months or even days, will decide to marry. Such marriage is constradictory to traditional values, although it is quite common among the youth. Yu Bin1 works in a fitness center in Shanghai. In September when he went to the scenic2 Yellow Mountain for sightseeing, he got to know a woman from Hainan Island on the train. They fell in love with each other at first sight and after they finished their tour, the two came back to Shanghai and held their wedding ceremony during the National Day holiday. 23-year-old Yang Lan and her present husband Hu Qi decided3 to marry after the two knew each other for only a month. After the marriage, however, Yang discovered that her husband had a bad temper. He even beat her from time to time. Two months later, when Yang could no longer tolerate the marriage, she sued for divorce. According to sociologists, Chinese people’s marriage behaviors have undergone some changes. Some young people are unwilling4 to shoulder the heavy family burden and responsibilties required by traditional marriage values. They care only about their own feelings and object to other people’s influence on their marriage. The flash marriage reflects these people’s desire for a marriage revolution.
