Beijing’s “I’m looking for you” supermarket sells nothing but love.
The market which was opened in November 2009 gives the city’s singles a new way to meet “the one.”
北京的“我正在找你”超市,只賣愛情這個商品。
這家於2009年11月開幕的超市,給了城市中的單身者一個新方法,去遇見他們人生中的“那個人”。

In their few months of operation, the market has more than 1,000 clients and successfully matched over fifty pairs.
在他們只有幾個月的經營之後,這個市場已經有了超過1000個委託者,和不只50對的成功配對。

25-year-old teacher Qu Hui: “I really hope I can find someone here; that is my greatest hope from the love supermarket. But if that doesn’t happen, I hope I can use this space to meet more friends and acquaintances. After all, I am a teacher, so the people that I can meet and socialize with are very limited.”
25歲的曲慧老師說:“我真的希望我可以在這找到另一半;那是我在愛情超市最大的希望。但是如果沒有發生,我希望我可以運用這個空間去認識更多的朋友和熟人。畢竟,我是一個老師,在我週遭可遇到的和能夠社交的,都非常的有限。”

Each customer pays three dollars, puts up his or her profile, which includes name, age, occupation, income and a picture they hope will catch the eye of their perfect mate. Then, browse around.
每個客人支付三元,放上他或她的簡介,其中包含姓名、年紀、職業、收入,和一張他們認為最能吸引完美伴侶的照片。然後,四處瀏覽。

35-year-old Wang Jiaohong said the supermarket has a lot of great women.
35歲的王兆鴻說,這家超市有很多很棒的女生。

[Wang Jiaohong, Searching for Love]:
“My mother says that the reason why I haven’t found the one yet is because I’m too picky. But in reality, I believe it’s because I just haven’t yet found my match.”
[尋找愛情的王兆鴻]:
“我母親說,我沒有找到我的愛情的原因,是因為我太挑了。但實際上,我相信這是因為我還沒有找到和我相配的人。

Eager mothers have encouraged their single children to attend the market, praising it as a safe space because each participant’s information is validated.
渴望的媽媽們鼓勵他們的單身小孩去參加這家超市,稱許那是一個安全的地方,因為每一位參加者的資訊都是有效的。
