腾讯网友 林公子:

China lacks girls with this kind of spirit of perseverance and struggle.

腾讯网友 花兒對我笑:

To tell the truth, even though I have all four limbs, have a decent income, and look okay, I’m no match for her!!
Because her force of will is way stronger than mine!!!

腾讯北京市网友 Alex:

How dose she use the toilet? How does she bathe? How does she change her sanitary napkin when her period comes?

腾讯淮南市网友 放空的瓶子: (responding to above)

Right now her parents take care of her, in the future her husband will take care of her!!!

腾讯铜陵市网友 为了你: (responding to 腾讯北京市网友 Alex)

All your limbs should be crippled! You dirty lowlife!
How did Beijing produce such scum like you! Shame on you!

腾讯沈阳市网友 小缺，: (responding to above)

Everything he said are realistic issues, even though it is a little unpleasant to hear. The most that can be said is that his thinking is a little vulgar, but from your malicious language it seems the one who is scum isn’t him?

腾讯网友 “梦幻约定ㄟ:

I hope she can find her other half and happiness.

腾讯重庆市网友 蓅失: (responding to above)

I’m going to ask a blunt question: If it were you guys and you had the chance, would you marry that girl? At this very moment, my heart is a bit conflicted! Remember, sympathy is not love!

What do you think?
