find the right partner or selling daughters and sons?

A big meeting in Chinese style to find your "soul-mate" seems to be a big market where parents sell their sons or daughters. The matters involved are: money, house, car. And also, maybe, if you have time, even istruction, age and knowledge. This is not the only one, in China lately there are a lot of this kind of meeting, match-making service going on, in every city. Why? Because the pression to get married is getting bigger for the parents and the sons and daughters or don't care or don't want to think about it now. So they send their parents to go and look for them. The parents then go and come back with a series of names and phone numbers, within the sons and daughters will choose the right "half" to marry. So at this kind of meeting you'll find not so many girls and boys, but old man and more often old ladies that are trying to find out which kind of person will be perfect for their child. They are so innocent, but interviewing them it really seems that they are selling their children. Sometimes they even bring some pictures of them, and show them proudly to everyone, or to the ones they trust will give them a good chance. At this meeting in Nanjing I met also a Chinese guy, the one in the photo, who asked me to look for him a foreign girl, anything special "like Mariah Carey"...It might take me a while to help him, but I promised!
