Learn Chinese with ChineseClss101.com. You are in China for your best-friend’s wedding and what do you know, some of your other friends, the so-called best men, are trying to dissuade the groom not to get married to his Chinese childhood sweetheart. They have every reason in the book, including the rising Chinese divorce rate. One even goes so far to mention the groom’s last girlfriend fifteen years ago. He says in Chinese, “Remember that girl that you just thought you would die without and then you dumped us for her? She ran off with another guy and left you to wallow in your misery.” The groom looks at his friend and declares in Chinese, “That was in sixth grade!” You can’t help but laugh at that and wish the groom best of luck. As you walk out of the dressing room to help usher people in the church, you hear another best man saying in Chinese, “Before marriage, people are so free to explore. Now you’ll be dull and never hang out with us.” Maybe you shouldn’t leave them alone with the groom…
