Super Rich: The sister of a superstar is the richest man in the world.

The accompanying photo is a candid shot she took of a courtyard at night, showing a person and two cats under the moonlight:

"Today I had a long chat with my parents, and the conversation started because they wanted to introduce me to a husband."

This statement seems absurd, yet it has its own logic.

I wasn't at the point of yearning for marriage, and I dismissed the idea with just one sentence. But after finishing my work, countless young faces appeared before my eyes.

These are people I came across who, after encountering so many oddballs, have started making abstract videos.

I can convince my parents to stop pressuring me to get married with just one sentence, but not everyone can do that. Today, I'm typing out a lot of heartfelt thoughts because I know the unique nature of my account. I hope this piece can help you.

First, to parents:

I know that my parents' pressure to get married stems largely from love.

This love contains concern for the child's future loneliness in old age, adherence to traditional family values, and a simple understanding of the "normal life trajectory."

Your classic quotes include, "What will you do all by yourself if we leave?", "A woman always needs a place to belong.", and "Look at other people's kids, they're all married now..."

However, we must be soberly aware that, especially for parents who urge their daughters to marry, marriage for most women does not mean a home or someone to take care of them, but rather a comprehensive commitment of physical, emotional, and spiritual energy.

Parents imagine that their daughters will have "help" after marriage, and what comes to mind is a traditional family where the husband bears the heavy responsibility of supporting the family, the parents-in-law help with housework, and the daughter is pampered.

However, the statistics and real-world examples present a completely different picture—

Women spend an average of 2.5 times more time on unpaid housework per day than men.

The proportion of working women who continue to work after marriage is as high as 89%, yet they still bear more than 70% of the household chores;

In dual-income families, the responsibility for educating children still falls on the mother's shoulders in more than 65% of cases.

This is more than just numbers.

In marriage, who is the real "beneficiary"? Who is the one who "serves the whole family"?

When the glow of love fades, marriage reveals itself more as a matter of responsibility allocation, resource competition, and power dynamics.

The hasty choice made due to pressure to get married may lead to more lasting pain than being single.

Many people lower their standards under pressure to get married, ignore differences in core values, and downplay conflicts in lifestyle habits. As a result, they only find out after marriage that they and their partner are simply two parallel lines.

I often find myself in a state of loneliness where there are people around but no one understands me.

Recent divorce rate data shows that in divorce cases involving individuals aged 25-35, more than 40% of the parties admitted that they got married "due to family pressure."

Divorce often has a more profound negative impact on women: societal stigma against divorced women persists, they face more obstacles in returning to the workforce, and if there are children, the responsibility of raising them often falls on the woman.

A hasty marriage may result in years or even decades of emotional exhaustion and a stalled life.

True loneliness is not being alone, but being isolated and helpless in close relationships.

Is "marriage between two parties" (marriages where the two parties are married) truly equal, despite its guise of gender equality?

The most ridiculous thing about it is not that there is no bride price or dowry, but that women have to give birth twice in order to have the right to name their child's surname. I really want to ask, why?

Finally, to my dear sisters:

Your value has never depended on your marital status.

Your very existence is a unique miracle in the universe.

Learn to broaden the definition of happiness.

Happiness can be the joy of a breakthrough in one's career, a long talk with a close friend late at night, the awe of seeing new scenery while traveling alone, or the sense of accomplishment when learning a new skill.

Marriage is just one of many possibilities, not the only path to happiness.

If you choose marriage, it should be because "I want to" rather than "I should".

Marriage is only worthwhile when you truly desire to spend your life with someone and are certain that the relationship is based on equality and respect.

May all parents in the world be able to let go of their anxieties and see the inherent vitality in their children.

May all girls break free from the shackles of societal expectations.

When Cen Yu'an's work is released, regardless of its content, there will definitely be a large number of people rushing to be the first to comment. Today's work has a lot of text, so it will take about 3 minutes before you can seriously comment after reading it.

"My goodness, even CEO Cen is being pressured to get married? That's outrageous."

"Sometimes I really want to kneel down and beg my parents to stop pressuring me. Every single person I know who is married regrets it. If you ask them what the benefits of marriage are, no one can say."

"The advantage of marriage is that everyone can accurately find their own karmic retribution."

“Last year, I joined Huashu’s directly operated store as a salesperson. With the help of the company’s mutual aid fund, I learned two foreign languages ​​and passed the postgraduate entrance examination. Now I have joined Huashu’s marketing department. My name is on the list of supervisors for training at the end of the year. Next year, my salary will be 5 yuan per month. Thank you, President Cen, for giving me confidence. My mother can’t argue with me now.”

"I went to a sperm bank abroad and selected the hair and skin color of my desired child. I can have a baby with my surname in one go, and I don't have to worry about anyone trying to steal my family property or my child. Isn't that great?"

"When will parents realize that marriage is unlikely to be about relying on each other, but rather that all the hardships are brought about by the other person?"

“I don’t think we should be extreme. When love is deep, marriage is something to look forward to. My husband and I have never had a fight in the past 35 years. He still sends me a flower every day.”

"Why only advise the parents and girls? We guys don't want to get married either, okay?"

When Cen Yu'an saw this comment, there were already thousands of replies below. Of course, one girl made a good rebuttal:

“I saw on your homepage that you’re complaining about your blind date asking for a dowry of 20 yuan, and your parents are emptying their savings to raise it. You’re also trying to find a way. If you don’t want to get married, why are you going to such lengths to make it happen with the help of your whole family?”

Looking at the comments from the girls in the comment section, Cen Yu'an said, "Keep being so clear-headed, that's great, very good!"

I'll call the software department as soon as I wake up tomorrow to urge them to finish the Huashu Cloud system next month.

She now can't wait for more girls to have a "system" so they can live with more confidence.
