Wu Wuna

Let's Fall In Love

Hitting 30 and no husband in sight? Forget online dating. In this hugely popular documentary, Wu Wuna seeks out Taipei’s thoroughly modern matchmaker, Chen Hailun. She looks on in amazement as Chen fixes up the most unlikely couples. More therapist for individuals than broker between families, Chen nudges the men – “why not marry her?” – and reassures the women. The stories the couples tell might inspire you to believe in love and romance all over again. But you might also notice that Wu Wuna doesn’t seem quite convinced enough to engage Chen’s services for herself.

People involved then happily raised their cup and said, "Congratulations! Wish you a destined good affinity, a marital happiness, a soon-born offspring, a harmonious union for a hundred years, blessed and felicitous." "Thank you!" replied the female family members, with smiles.
