Luiza Grigoryan Beijing. The place of my dreams. I wonder what it is like to wake up every day in a city populated by so many people. I do not like when China is associated exclusively with a place to gain money. How often people go there out of a desire to earn income and then return to their country to buy a house or a car, hoping that this will solve all their problems. China is not just a place where you can build your career and find funding for it. China, and especially its center - Beijing - is the goal, the end of the road, and the beginning of a new journey. I've always wondered what it's like to visit a place where every foreigner is welcomed as a long-awaited guest. The people there are not only interested in European culture, they are people who deeply respect those who come to their country and honor their traditions and beliefs. And especially know the Chinese language. An important role is played by the attitude of family members in the East to each other. Family is valued above all else there. Older people are always treated with respect and awe. Especially the opinion of grandparents is valued above all else. In order to get married to your soulmate, it is not enough to just set a date for the wedding. An important step to securing the bond of marriage is the acquaintance of the second half and the family. If the parents do not approve of the candidate for the role of the husband or the bride, you can forget about the wedding. On the one hand, this seriousness of affairs may seem too strict. Since many families look more at the wallet of the chosen one more than on other aspects, but on the other hand, it is also important to learn the opinion of parents who understand life better than the younger generation. Among other things, marriage in the East is not a fleeting whim, but a conscious choice. If in the West the divorce rate exceeds 60 percent of marriage, then in the East there is a saying: "If you have married a dog, you follow a dog, if you married a chicken, you follow a chicken". of course, it is difficult to decide on marriage, knowing that it will be one for life. However, by raising children on quiet sayings, they better understand the seriousness of marriage. In addition to marriage, the issue of fatherlessness is also very important. I once told my Chinese friend that I grew up without a father. It was incomprehensible to her. - How? – she asked. - Like this. He just wasn't there for us. - Well, why didn't you look for him?
