Suppose you see a couple, an old man and a young girl on the street. Their age difference is more than 35 years. What'll most people think? I think it's quite different in Western and Eastern countries. In the West, people respect others' choice. It's a personal affair which should be respected no matter what the situation is. In the East, we always like to talk about the motive of the young girl. In fact, true love rarely exists in this situation.
