More young people seek to understand romance

It was "unconventional" to have romantic relationships when Hu Yue was in university in the 1980s. "There was no education about relationships," says the head of the psychological counseling center at Dalian University of Technology in Northeast China's Liaoning province.

"Society was still traditional. People who fell in love tended to keep it secret."

But it's commonplace for youth to openly engage in romance today.
