"If You Are the One" Goes Overseas Chinese-style blind dates are recognized by overseas Chinese. According to Voice of China's Global Chinese Broadcasting Network, Jiangsu Satellite TV's "If You Are the One" has recently extended its tentacles overseas, opening special shows in Australia and the United States, and the response has been enthusiastic; the British special show is also under intense preparation. Can handsome men and beautiful women in Europe accept the "If You Are the One" style blind date method? Next, we connect with Liu Yang, the Belgian observer of "Global Chinese Broadcasting Network". Host: We know that the program "If You Are the One" is very popular in China. Is it also attracting special attention in Europe? Liu Yang: The program "If You Are the One" has a relatively large audience of overseas Chinese. Many people spend their spare time online. Even if they can receive programs from our domestic TV stations at home, everyone will pay attention to them, especially young men and women. This time, "If You Are the One" came to Europe and recorded a unique blind date meeting for overseas Chinese singles. It has indeed attracted a lot of attention. Everyone still likes this format. However, they are usually busy with work and study. Many Chinese people have forgotten that there is such a good way. It also reminds overseas Chinese media whether they can also organize some similar blind dates and so on. Host: We would like to know whether European Chinese agree with the dating and mate selection method of "If You Are the One"? How are their concepts of mate selection different from those in China? Liu Yang: Men should marry when they are older, and women should marry when they are older. This is a universal truth. Chinese men and women living overseas are also faced with the arduous task of finding their significant other and completing their lifelong events. Therefore, dating methods like "If You Are the One" are basically recognized by overseas Chinese. For example, most of the male and female guests who signed up for the show have long-term living backgrounds overseas and are highly educated. Many of them have achieved modest success in their careers. Although they have lived and studied overseas for a long time, they have received education from different systems and absorbed ideas from different cultures. But in fact, there has been no qualitative change in the views of single men and women living overseas on mate selection. Let’s talk about girls first. Single girls living overseas. In Chinese imagination, many people seem to think that it is easy for these girls to find a foreign gentleman. However, in fact, due to the differences in culture and language, more and more single Chinese women are more inclined to find Chinese men with similar living environment and cultural background, because they believe that this will help the two people’s ideas to be more integrated and communication easier. There are also some Chinese women who are influenced by the traditional education of their families. They hope that their significant other will be caring and responsible, and love will last a lifetime. Moreover, many parents do not approve of their children living overseas finding foreigners. This also reflects some traditional Chinese family concepts, such as filial piety, employment and ease of communication are the most important factors. Of course, compared with the domestic environment, many women in China place too much emphasis on material requirements. Many women who study abroad are not so realistic, and they pay more attention to spiritual pursuits. Compared with Chinese women who have more traditional ideas, Chinese single men living overseas are more traditional, and can even be described as conservative. Most of them now adhere to two standards for choosing a spouse. On the one hand, they depend on the woman's communication with her parents. The Chinese say "filial piety comes first". Even if Chinese boys know many foreign girls with better conditions in all aspects, considering the language communication with their parents in the future and other factors including lifestyle, these When choosing a mate, Chinese boys tend to prefer Chinese women who have no communication barriers. The second criterion is that many Chinese men have the traditional family concept of marrying a gentle and virtuous wife, because in the impression of some Chinese men, compared with the independence and autonomy of Western women, gentle and virtuous Chinese girls are more able to play the role of virtuous wives and create a relaxed family atmosphere, and this is exactly what Chinese men want. Affected by the environment in which they grew up and educated, Western women are more independent, have strong personal awareness, and are unwilling to change too much for men and contribute to the family. To sum up, regardless of whether Chinese single men or women living overseas have a common criterion when choosing a partner, they have a similar living environment, similar cultural background and values. Compared with some young people in China, overseas Chinese single men and women pay more attention to the spiritual communication between boys and girls and the compatibility of life styles.
