Chutian Metropolis Daily (Weibo) reports (by reporter Qing Li): A film named "Love Repair Shop" reveals people's current desire to use external forces to fix emotional crises. Perhaps inspired by the creative concept in the film, a company labeled as providing "Marriage and Family Services" has been born in Jiangcheng. Yesterday, Mr. Wei, the founder of the company, claimed that more than half a year after opening for business, they have successfully treated the "ailing marriages" of 70 patients.

Yesterday, when the reporter entered this "marriage hospital," it was adorned with pink wallpaper, soft music played in the background, fresh flowers exuded fragrance, making it feel more like a coffee shop. Mr. Wei, the founder who holds the title of National First-Class Marriage and Family Consultant, said that he started planning to establish this "marriage hospital" last year, obtained the business license at the beginning of this year, and officially opened for business in March.

During the two-hour interview, the reporter rarely saw any visitors in the two consultation rooms. Mr. Wei explained that since opening, nearly a thousand citizens have called for consultations, and more than 180 people have visited in person. "The charge for each consultation is 300 yuan, and after signing a contract, the treatment fee is charged at 3000 yuan per day." He said that since opening, they have successfully resolved conflicts for 70 paying clients, repairing the wounds of love and marriage.

Due to the hospital's strong emphasis on the privacy of "marriage patients", the reporter was temporarily unable to verify the patient's situation and treatment results. A doctor mentioned that during the service, the hospital signs a confidentiality agreement with the "patients", and all records will be destroyed in front of the patient after diagnosis.

If an emotional crisis occurs, would you seek help from a marriage hospital? Over the past few days, the reporter interviewed more than 20 citizens, and their response was that if a marital crisis occurs, they would certainly hope to receive professional guidance and assistance, but they question the treatment effectiveness of "marriage hospitals."

Professor Jitao Zhang, a sociologist from Hubei University, believes that marital and emotional issues should be intervened early. The response of the parties involved and internal family communication and coordination are particularly important. Personal attitude is the fundamental key to solving problems. On this basis, professional guidance can help alleviate marital conflicts to a certain extent. From this perspective, the birth of "marriage hospitals" has its rationality and necessity. "However, this is after all a new type of industry, and there must be standard norms and regulatory mechanisms to prevent mixed quality services."
