Reverse thinking needed
According to media reports, a quarrel between a young couple, both single children, over whether they should visit the husband's or the wife's hometown during Spring Festival led to a divorce recently. The couple, based in Changchun, Jilin province, were married just six months ago. Perhaps the couple should have invited both sets of parents to their home, which they had moved into recently, instead of taking the extreme step, says an article in Yanzhao Evening News. Excerpts:
Since the divorced couple's hometowns are thousands of kilometers apart (Urumqi in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region and Guangdong province), they possibly could not have visited both during the short Spring Festival holiday. But they could have invited both sets of parents to their new home in Changchun to celebrate the Lunar New Year. That would have been a real family reunion.
