More Chinese youngsters finding romance on Internet forums – Xinhua

From Xinhua (link):

A growing number of Chinese youngsters are finding love on the Internet through an online meeting place known as Bulletin Board System, or BBS, where youngsters can voice their views on various subjects.

Li Mei met her boyfriend Liu Wei in a chat room called “Pie Love” set up by the well-known Shuimu Tsinghua BBS (SMTH), which is run by students from prestigious Tsinghua University in Beijing, and four months later they are engaged.

“BBS is a bridge for our romance,” said Li Mei, who was one of the hundreds of girls who replied to Liu Wei’s dating advert.
