Romance Chinese Style

Watch part two

Filmmaker: Maggie Gu


Speed dating, online romance and love schools have replaced party loyalty in China.

Love is paramount for young Chinese singletons with the help of teacher Wu, the Love Guru.

In the 1960s, Diana Ross famously sang "You Can't Hurry Love". But in today's China, with its increasingly frenetic capitalist lifestyle, it sometimes seems there is hardly any time for love. 

This whimsical film by first time director Maggie Gu takes a wry look at the romance industry in China.
