Features: It vividly portrays the ups and downs of marriage among ordinary Chinese people. Marriage is something that can't be clearly explained—it brings together two completely unrelated people, or makes them love each other for a lifetime, or turns them into bitter enemies, or leaves them entangled. Married, they are a pair of superficially united souls, with the bride even unwilling to attend her own wedding. Divorced, fate plays a huge joke on them—holding divorce certificates in their hands, they are still legally married. Chinese Marriage tells the stories of ordinary Chinese people trapped in the "fortress of marriage," revealing the differences between marriage and love, and analyzing the various physical and psychological struggles of the Chinese under the traditional concept of "matching in status."
