Why in China Marriage comes often with Divorce too | VPRO World Stories
In Chinese dreams, documentary maker and China expert Ruben Terlou travel further through China, driven by his fascination for the Chinese and with the rapidly changing society as a compass. According to the Chinese dream of President Xi, the Chinese should marry and start a family. But with a surplus of men and an increasing number of divorces, "the family as the cornerstone of society" has not quite succeeded. Ruben wonders how it is possible that almost five million marriages per year in China are blown up. He travels with a judge in the countryside, attends divorce cases in a court of law and sets off with a so-called "mistress hunter." In a "love hospital" in the mega city of Shanghai he sees a relationship therapist in action.
