Transnational marriage
With the development of the world, everything is changing, including people'smind,one respect is transnational marriage.
What is the transnational marriage?
The transnational marriage could easily be used to describe a marriage between two people of different races, like between a Chinese and an American. In the 19th century, transnational marriage was illegal in most states in the US,in 1967, the landmark Supreme Court case, Loving V. Virginia, put an end to legal discriminationin transnational marriage.
Today this phenomenon has became more and more popular, our presentation is going to talk about this phenomenon, mostly about the marriage between two people of difference races, especially about a Chinese and a foreigner.
The famoustransnationalmarriage
Marriage is a romantic and pure, as famous people, stars also have their marriage, some of them aretransnational marriage, and now let me introduce them.
1、Wei Wei(韋唯)&Michael Joseph Smith
December23，1995，Michael Joseph Smith watched a Chinese sing show, when he knewWeiWei, quickly,they fell in love. In 1994, they got married in The Kingdom of Sweden, and they had three sons in five years. It looks hopeful, but the marriage ended in 2004,because of Michael Joseph Smith'sCharacter and the different culture.
2、Bruce Lee(李小龍)& Linda Emery

Finally, they dropped out of the university, and got married in august 12,1963. Later, they worked together, and had two children, a son and a daughter. Their life are full of sunshine, unfortunately, Bruce Lee leave the world in 1973, Even it, their marriage still is a successful transnational marriage.
3、Ning Jing(寧靜)&Paul Kersey
In 1996，movie Red River Valley come out, people knew the actress, Ning Jing, she became a star, and she was known the actor Paul Kersey by the movie, After a
very short period of time, they completed the married, and they have a son. In 1998, they acted the film Yellow River Love. Form then, Ning Jing started to stay at home to look after their son, but she still wanted to work, she had a contradiction with her husband. In 2011, Ning Jing recognized she has ended the marriage, because of the different culture.
As the famous marriage, more and more in the world, such as Liu Ye(劉燁) and his French girlfriend, Deng We Di(鄧文迪) and Rupert Murdoch, Jiang Wen(姜文) and his French wife, and so on. But in the end, most transnational marriage ended up with a failure, a few couple hasa successful life.
The different attitudes towards transnational marriage
How do people think about this phenomenon? There are some different answers from them. I conclude some main reasons about two different sides, Supporter or Opponent.
In opponent opinion, transnational marriages can cause many problems within the t the couple has a different family background, culture, and tradition, eating habits, especially the religion, many disagreements can nd, the language is important for communicate, but in the transnational marriage, the couple use the different language, the barrier for communication has brought a lot of trouble, Third, about the children, they grow in a family including two and more culture, it can be challenging in accepting both cultures at the same time. How to teach the child right thinking is the general problem for the transnational family. Finally and foremost, most people call transnational marriage“worship and have blind faith in foreign things”, because of the traditional culture, they cannot accept transnational marriage, so in fact, most people object the transnational marriage, now that a marriage which no people understand and support, it must be failed.
On the other hand, in supporter opinion, it isnt trouble, it is chance. First as the member of the transnational family, you can experience a new lifestyle, pursue a better welfare services, say goodbye to the past, even have a mixed-race baby, it is a nice life. Second, International marriages can promote knowing about different cultures and customs, even if different d, you and your children will
have the chance to learn a new language. Of course, finally and foremost, purpose of marriage is for love rather than for the family, if the couples understand each other, no barrier exists between them.
My opinion for transnational marriage
In my opinion, there is no distinction between right and wrong. In fact, the understanding of transnational marriage is not like what we see as the terrible and mysterious, only a person marriedanother personwho from a different country. Since the choice is a two-way and double-pass, it also needs more humility, tolerance, play and responsibilities, if they understand each other, why object the transnational marriage? As for our attitude, I think we should give more respect and understanding.
It is said by Tagore that love is an endless mystery, for it has nothing else to explain it. True love is inclusive cross each others cultural habits and eating habits, mutual tolerance, mutual adaptation. Love is the greatest refreshment in life, loving a person is difficult, but giving up the person you loved is more difficult than it, so if you sincerely love a person, please accompany her forever.
Thank you!
