Several volunteers helped me to organized the third Shenzhen O2O Gathering on Dec 1, 2019 at St. Paul Church. There were 18 members attended it including from Guangzhou. Several of them are not a regular Church goers nor ever attended youth gathering.
We attended the Sunday Mass followed by prayer, self introduction and shared the qualification of their expected husband/wife followed by lunch at a Inner Mongolia Restaurant. There was birthday celebration for one of the members after sharing about male domination. There are several Chinese clothes to be wore for free so four of us (including myself and a guy) wore it. It reminded me about my first trip to Beijing in 2005, around two years before entering Maryknoll, wearing Chinese cloth.
We went around the old city and Zhong Shan Park (https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E6%B7%B1%E5%9C%B3%E4%B8%AD%E5%B1%B1%E5%85%AC%E5%9B%AD/493106） and then played a game on the mobile phone.
Three participants and I talked about their plan to collect personal information and qualification of expected husband/wife and then arrange a program. Since the beginning I didn’t want to introduce a guy A to a woman B because I don’t want the parents will chase them to marry as soon as possible because they were introduced by a sister.
