Today, the mainland is booming economically, socially stable and prosperous, and its international status is increasing day by day. Coupled with the development of globalization, the mainland is gradually changing from an exporter of overseas talents to an absorbing country. Because of the small cultural differences, the traditional family culture of the mainland that values harmony and the order of the elders and children attracts many girls from neighboring Asian countries who want to marry far away, including North Korean girls.
Most of the girls in North Korea are adherents of traditional concepts. Cultivate both inside and outside, be filial to the elders, take care of the family, and teach husbands and children. Basically, there are many standards for Chinese guys to choose wives, but North Korean girls say the 3 minimum standards for marrying outside. The Chinese guy was dumbfounded, it was too difficult......
1. Communication in daily life needs to be barrier-free
This requires the boys to relearn a new language, Korean, or to have a Korean girl learn Chinese. In order to communicate better, the difference between the two languages can be a challenge for both parties, regardless of who learns it.
Korean belongs to the Altaic language family, while Chinese belongs to the Sino-Tibetan language family. These two languages belong to different language families and have completely different linguistic characteristics and development histories.
Korean expressions like to put various suffixes on words, like decorating toys, so that you can tell others what the word means. Moreover, the pronunciation of Korean is particularly colorful and sounds charming.
In contrast, Chinese is much simpler, it is more like directly spreading out the meaning. In Chinese, we usually don't need to add suffixes to words to express their meanings, but rely on arranging words in a certain order. Add some suffixes like "to", "of", "in", and you can clearly express what you want to say. The syllable structure of Chinese is a combination of consonants and vowels, which is also different from the syllable structure of Korean.
This means that it takes a certain amount of time and effort to learn Korean or Chinese, after all, communication is the beginning of all communication.
2. The husband may independently assume family responsibilities after marriage
This criterion may not sound that difficult, but when you think about it, the man should be able to bear the responsibility for the family's financial income on his own. He is responsible for taking care of the family and taking care of the trivial things. It is not surprising that this stems from the more traditional family thinking of North Korean women as male and female dominant.
3. Marriage is legal
Compared with the first two standards, the last standard sounds the simplest and basic conditions. As everyone knows, it is actually very difficult to marry a North Korean girl through legal means.
The DPRK and China, as neighboring socialist countries, have long maintained close and friendly relations. Historically, North Korea was once Chinese territory, and the two countries have deep cultural and political ties between them.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Korean people also gave a lot of support and assistance to the mainland, and the two sides forged a friendship of life and death in the common struggle against foreign aggression.
This close alliance was further strengthened during the Cold War, when China sent volunteers to the DPRK to fight alongside the DPRK to resist the offensive of the coalition forces, which deepened the mutual trust and support between the two peoples.
So far, the two countries have maintained extensive cooperation and exchanges in the political, economic, and cultural fields. But North Korea's foreign policy has always been relatively closed, and the North Korean government has strictly prohibited its citizens from marrying foreigners.
As a direct result of this policy, it was extremely difficult for North Korean women to marry foreign men, and for a period of time, the act of choosing to marry a foreigner was considered illegal and faced serious legal consequences.
This ban poses a major obstacle to foreign men who wish to marry North Korean girls. However, according to the latest news, in recent years, with the increase in the number of single women in North Korea. North Korea appears to have relaxed this policy and begun allowing its women to marry foreigners, but the laws and procedures are still quite complicated. The earliest condition for foreign marriage was that "it must be personally approved by the leader of the country". Later, it was relaxed, that is, "invest 5 million yuan in North Korea and receive official marriage and love training with his wife". or "Joining" - you can apply for a visa to settle in North Korea, and after meeting the immigration conditions, you can give up your original nationality and become a North Korean citizen.
This seems to be the simplest and most basic criterion, but it may come at the cost of the man renunciating his nationality. Or pay a lot of money to invest as the threshold for marriage, which really makes it difficult for ordinary Chinese people to accept, because it is too difficult!
Epilogue:
Love can transcend different races, different languages, and different beliefs, which is its purest and most beautiful side. But when love moves towards marriage, there are more practical factors that need to be faced, such as nationality, law, marriage customs, etc.
A marriage is linked to at least two families, and the process involves the entanglement of interests, cultural differences and living habits between families, which may become difficult problems in married life. However, it is these challenges and difficulties that shape the true face of marriage.
