Grappling with life's big question

One Sunday afternoon I come home and find Jim lying over our living room sofa, his head almost dropping to the floor, eyes blank.

I guess right away that he's just had another big fight with his boyfriend. And once again our friend Jim says: "I think I should get married."

Jim comes from a wealthy traditional Chinese family in the south. He has been a model filial son all his life, except for not getting married and bearing kids for his parents. Everyone wonders why, for he is very handsome and very wealthy. Lately, his parents have stepped up their crazed efforts to arrange blind dates for him.
