Chinese Marriage In Memory

In my youth, girl students are always  shy when speaking to boy students
The opposite condition was also true and lasts through my half period of life

Marriages between girls and boys were usually made possible by a person, 
Who makes a careful and elegant comparison strictly based upon  the boy's
Girl's personal and family's conditions, finalizing the evaluation of match or not,  
If matched they will make serial things happen, such as  sending off
A letter of appointment  and giving  money to the girl's family for an engagement

This was the real scenario remembered in my memory of  making a Chinese family
Luckily though I experienced it in my youth but never ever be affected by it
