Blind Date Event for Migrant Workers Becomes Men's Party
"A blind date party for migrant workers was held at Wangjing Park in northeastern Beijing on Saturday morning, but the event quickly became a men's party because nearly all the attendees were men, the Beijing Evening News reports.
At around 9 o'clock Saturday morning, two twin brothers came to the event, which brought hope to the organizers. Gradually, more and more people came to fill in their personal information, and some even came from far away to attend. One park visitor decided to attend the activity as soon as he heard about it, and even called his family to send 20 yuan for the entrance fee.
Among the people who signed in were technical staff from factories and salespeople from supermarkets. Organizers were anxious that all the attendees were male, and two women who appeared at 10 o'clock caused excitement, followed by disappointment when they quickly disappeared.
A man surnamed Zhang told the reporter that he didn't expect too much from his future wife in terms of appearance and salary, and he is mostly looking for someone to live a simple life with.
Although the blind date party wasn't as successful as expected, the organizers will continue to hold such activities for migrant workers in big cities in the future. Migrant workers have made great contributions to the development of society and need love and warmth in the big cities, the organizers said.
