The mentioned marriage has been descried. To Chinese people, marriage is more like a commercial activity which is called marriage. To western people, marriage is more like a house and turn the word upside. Before reform and opening up, Chinese marriage is of low quality but high stability and 60% marriage is “patchy”. After sexual confusion of ideas and tide flood of porce, marriage have become a fully open relationship (Adams 2). But when it comes to love, special hobby and multiple relationships are included. After investigation, Chinese standards appear: age and family condition. While respect, trust and interest are western standards.

The purpose of marriage is that both men and women want to achieve some expected results through the establishment of a marriage relationship. The purpose of Chinese traditional marriage is to establish a new family rather than get something from love. On the one hand, marriage expands the relatives of the alliance, the “affinity” through the combination of advantages of both men and women. On the other hand, in order to let men inherit the family lineage, procreation, namely “succession,” men and women get married. Of course, in today’s Chinese society, the traditional purpose of marriage has been a great impact. Young men and women tend to choose “love first” marriage. But in China, such a traditional society, it is still not a simple thing to make love as the main purpose of marriage. In the movie, we can see that Jiang wei is influenced by Chinese traditional culture. He thinks that the purpose of marriage is to maintain the integrity of the family. The integrity of the family is important for him and Xiao yu. And Xiao yu can’t betray him. He is worried about Xiao yu when she lives together with Mario who is not only a threat to him, but also a threat to their marriage. He is very angry when Xiao yu takes care of Mario instead of obeying to his command. We can see that a marriage which is lack of trust is not a perfect marriage.
