Love is the same in all countries, same fun, same happy and same difficult. I bet you can find
more cases like your friend's in China. Just jump on Sina and you can see enough. Everyone
chooses your own life, including your love life. I do feel really sorry for your friend, but
you cannot blame on this country for it.

BTW, even if we don't really know who is who on BBS, we should still try to be well behaved.
