I am Chinese and in our culture, love is not enough to let two people marry. Status and family lineage are big issues when it comes to Chinese people. This problem is what I’m facing right now. I am planning to marry my girlfriend even though I know from the very start that my family would object. I still tried to convince them though. My girlfriend is not Chinese like me, and she doesn’t come from a well-off family which I know for sure matters for my family. When I told my parents about it, they got mad. They won’t even listen to whatever I say. I have tried to date Shenyang women before to please them but my heart wouldn’t just beat for them. I really don’t know what to do. This is what I really hate about being a Chinese.
