The term "marriage and life" is a point of view put forward by Professor Masahiro Yamada of Sun Yat-sen University in Japan 10 years ago, when there were many people who did not have contact with the opposite sex, did not kiss, and did not date. Therefore, the term "marriage and life" was invented to promote young people to actively participate in blind dates.

But today, unexpected results have occurred, many people have directly omitted the process of love, and more and more people have "flash marriage". Some people may be optimistic that even if it is a flash marriage, as long as it is good to get married. In fact, the so-called "flash marriage" people account for only a small part. More and more people are having a negative attitude towards love. Single and unaccounted for, there has been a 20% increase in the last 10 years.
