    Yes, it's what that means.
    1. Mostly, in Guangdong, Guangxi,Fujiang have this tradition. Maybe the other provinces have it too, but I am not sure about this.
    2. I am not familar with the tradition in Beijing or Shanghai, in my opinion, I don't think the large cities have this tradtion.
    3. In chinese culture, originally, the elder sibling is respected as the father, we can't call the name of elder brother's or elder sister's. They have same responsibility as father to the whole family. At the same time, we see the marriage as the most important thing in life, we only can feel how difficult to take care the families like fathers do after getting married, and it's first step to learn to take care of the others also. That's why we have this tradition.
    So this tradtion shouldn't influence the youngers to have a happy marriage. Now the parents are much more generous and wise, they also have solution to make this out as long as you are sincere and be positive to talk to them. If your lover's family is extreme strict and kinda of fusty, then I am sorry to you.
    4. you could think about the point 3.
    5. some families will have prejudice against you if you are not a chinese, the parents will consider the distance between two countries and divorce ratio in your country, also some might have not good impression of your country from few decade years and judge you. They also worry about family abuse ( read too much this kind of news, and can't take it away I guess). Anyhow they want to see their children very easily, they want to be helpful whenever their children need help.
