Share to: Welcome to post comments I want to comment China Radio Network Beijing, January 28th News According to the report of "News纵横" of China Voice, "It's time again to smile with a forty-five degree upward angle and answer various relatives' questions about how old you are, which school you're in, what major you're studying, if you have a partner, when you're getting married, when your parents can hold a grandchild, and if you need an introduction..."

Commentary from News纵横: When concern turns into earnest preaching, when Spring Festival becomes an interrogation by aunts, uncles, and cousins, and when marriage becomes a topic that brings up uncomfortable issues, it truly makes unmarried young men and women sigh: Is this even letting people celebrate the New Year? In fact, celebrating the New Year is all about joy and harmony. After all, people are busy during the year and come home for reunion and inquiries, which is normal. There's no need to get overly angry, nor is there any need to take things too seriously and retaliate. In fact, whether it's the elders or the younger generation, doesn't everyone have their own worries? If we think from each other's perspectives, there should be more understanding and tolerance.

A netizen described his experiences during the Spring Festival on Weibo. As an unmarried eligible or older youth, do these words make your ears sore? Recently, a "list of speaking outlines for family gatherings" has been wildly forwarded online. This list summarizes various questions that elders ask during family gatherings, as well as their reactions to different answers. Some netizens lament that this feels like an "interrogation", truly resenting relatives and friends prying into private matters under the guise of concern. Other netizens prepare counter-questions: Have you prepared a matrimonial house for your child? Is your blood pressure and cholesterol still normal?

Weibo Recommendation | Today's Weibo Hot Topics (Editor: SN002) The list of speaking outlines for family gatherings has gone viral online.
