Matchmaking fairs popular during festival

Ms. Wu participated in a matchmaking fair held in Beijing's Alter of the Earth last Wednesday, hoping to find a girlfriend for her son, who is a white collar working for a foreign-invested enterprise. This grand matchmaking fair had attracted thousands of local citizens in Beijing. Basic information of each participant was written on a slip of paper and put in the Alter of the Earth. There were young people looking for friends, and old couples also come to choose friends for their children. Ms. Wu was shortsighted and had some difficulties reading the written information. She told our reporter that she had to think about her son's marriage, for he was the only child in the family. Matchmaking fairs have become popular in Beijing, where a variety of matchmaking activities were held in Zhongshan, Zizhuyuan and Yuyuantan parks in 2006, and also held during this year's Spring Festival.
