An original online rental service recently made its debut in China specifically for the Spring Festival or otherwise the Chinese New Year's Eve on January 23rd. This service does not rent clothes, shoes, or accessories but… men who pretend to be a couple throughout the night…
Many of you may be wondering why a Chinese woman wants to hire a supposed boy on such a day. The reason is that in such family gatherings, if someone makes the mistake of appearing alone, relatives tend to ask her awkward questions such as "Why are you not in a relationship" or "When will you get married".
So to avoid the embarrassment of the night, Chinese women can hire their escorts from taobao.com (something like Chinese ebay). Prices start at around € 180 and do not include transportation and accommodation costs for "rented grooms".
