- Hmm, this article appeared on the 21st Feb 2008 issue of Mypaper. The title translated in English means "Chinese teens are obsessed with Online Virtual Marriages".
- The latest craze to hit the China teens is to get married in the virtual world. Subsequently, the newly wed move into their "matrimony house" and they are engaged in all the mundanes of marriage life from "raising kids" , "making a living" and yeah even handling "divorces".
- Although all these events take place in the online virtual world, it is not free mind you. Just the wedding ceremony alone in the virtual world will cost you cold hard cash of $40-S$197. Moreover, in the event if you are divorced in the virtual world, the men have to pay alimony in real cold hard cash as well.
- I just feel that it is really saddening to see these teens engage in the virtual world but not in the reality world. Perhaps the realities of life is indeed too harsh, hence, they seek refuge in the virtual world. Perhaps these teens lacked love, they lacked the simple hugs and kisses from their parents when they were young. Hence they grow up to be apprehensive of the real world...
- Abba please help them..
