In a remote mountain village, Li Mei, a 25-year-old woman, has become a hot topic in the village. She has a sweet appearance and a gentle personality, and is a flower in the village. However, her marriage became a heart disease for her parents. In the village, girls her age are already married, and some even have children of their own. So, her parents began to arrange a blind date for Li Mei.
On the first blind date, the man was an honest farmer, two years older than Li Mei. The two got along quite happily, but when it came to the bride price, Li Mei's parents asked for 100,000. Although the man's family background is good, he can't come up with so much money at once, so he has to politely refuse.
On the second blind date, the man was a small businessman, one year older than Li Mei. He expressed his willingness to pay a bride price of 100,000 yuan, but asked Li Mei to give up her job after marriage and concentrate on taking care of her family. Li Mei was unwilling to give up her career and therefore failed to succeed.
On the third blind date, the man is a cultural person who works in the city and is three years younger than Li Mei. He fell in love with Li Mei at first sight and expressed his willingness to pay a bride price of 100,000 yuan, but hoped to live in the city together after marriage. Li Mei didn't want to leave her parents and hometown, so she also refused.
On the fourth blind date, the man is a rich second generation, two years older than Li Mei. He felt that the 100,000 bride price was nothing, but he asked Li Mei to obey his arrangement after marriage, and there could be no objection. Li Mei was unwilling to be controlled by others, so she also failed.
On the fifth blind date, the man was a civil servant, one year older than Li Mei. He felt that the 100,000 bride price was a bit high, and hoped to discuss it. But Li Mei's parents resolutely refused to back down, and in the end they still did not succeed.
On the sixth blind date, the man was a technician, three years younger than Li Mei. He thinks that the 100,000 bride price is not a problem, but he hopes that after marriage, he can travel with Li Mei, take wedding photos, and so on. These requests made Li Mei feel too romantic and extravagant, so she also refused.
In the process of blind date, Li Mei has always been very patient and serious. She is not the kind of casual girl who attaches great importance to her marriage. However, because of the bride price, she failed again and again. This made her feel very uncomfortable.
In the village, some bachelors began to ridicule Li Mei, saying that she was too demanding, and even some ill-intentioned people said that if she couldn't do it, she should marry herself. These words embarrassed Li Mei, but she was not crushed. She knows that her requirements are not high, and she just hopes to find the right person to spend her life with. She is also unwilling to marry someone she doesn't love.
After six failed blind dates, Li Mei did not give up. She began to reflect on whether she was asking too much and whether she should compromise appropriately. However, she eventually decided to stick to her principles and demands. She believes that one day she will meet the right person.
In the village, Li Mei's story has also attracted people's attention and thinking. Some people are beginning to re-examine the traditional bride price customs, believing that they are outdated and should be abandoned; Some people believe that the bride price is a man's respect and compensation for the woman, and cannot be without; Others believe that the bride price should be done within one's means, and that the happiness of young people should not be ruined by excessive demands.
In any case, Li Mei's story reminds us that when looking for your other half, you must stick to your own principles and requirements; At the same time, we must respect the choices and wishes of others. Marriage is a big event, and you can't make decisions that you regret because of the impulse of the moment; You can't give up your happiness because of outside pressure. Only finding the right person to spend your life with is the most important thing.
