"Liu says the ideal candidate should have 'a kind heart, high level of personal integrity, and good communication skills'.He has worked out an agreement, too, which includes 'project' content, daily schedules, payment method and safety precautions. 'Both parties should act according to the provisions of the agreement,' he says."
Wonder what Liu is looking for?
China.cn reports that people in China are finding it difficult to find partners, so they are hiring friends to take home for the Spring Festival.
Apparently it is all to do with parental pressure:
"For China's 'lonely hearts club', Spring Festival can be a nightmare," says Xing Yun, who is graduating in history. Xing is among those single men who have to face inquisitive relatives, overtly concerned with their love or marital life."With increasing social pressures and busy work schedules, more and more people are finding it difficult to find a life partner. That's why some people devise ways (such as hiring a 'girlfriend') to ease the worries of their parents," says Yang Liang, who teaches sociology in Zhejiang University.
No surprise, but it is women between ages twenty-five and forty that are looking for the right person to take home to their parents.
