Gu, Xiao Jia. “China's love market: traditions of arranged marriage and the old faith in communism are merging with consumer choice. This has brought romantic freedom--which comes with its own problems.” New Statesman 12 June 2006: 36.
The article talks about the arranged marriages at Yat-Sen Park in China where parents come with photos of the child to find their mate. The author is letting everyone see that arranged marriages are still going on, but done with a different method. This topic differs from an article on Travel China Guide website. The article talks about how the Chinese customs of marriage still did not change since the Qing dynasty. It also talks about the rituals Chinese people do before they get married.

In the article, it talks about the traditional Chinese marriages and how it came about. It describes all the rituals that are done during the matrimony. This is helpful for people who want to know how Chinese marriages are done, since they are different from other traditional weddings in other countries. The information given is different than other website, China Bridal, where it talks about what the bride does before the wedding and all the way to the end of the wedding. The website also has an addition to what happens after the wedding day.
