My story: I'm a final-year software engineering major and working part-time at NetEase Games. I got there after an internship in my third year, was well-liked by the management, and stayed on with a flexible schedule. After graduation, a job awaits me on the same team. I'm an only child, and my parents have done everything to ease my start: my mother runs a family restaurant, my father is an engineer, and together they bought me an apartment in a good neighborhood. They're also saving money and jewelry as a wedding gift—they're really eager to find me a good match. My mother regularly goes to marriage markets in parks and advertises me there, showing photos and boasting about my future income. This makes me feel very awkward and ashamed. We've already been on two blind dates—both times I felt incredibly uncomfortable. When she told me she'd found me a foreign bride through a translator, I initially didn't want to go—clearly a misunderstanding. But I decided to go to apologize and help her out of an awkward situation. I love my mother very much and am grateful to my parents for everything, but her pressure in my personal life sometimes goes beyond the pale. I've had almost no serious relationships—just a schoolmate, walks, and holding hands. Now my whole life is studying, working, and pursuing a career.
