My girlfriend is a "Jiangbei person" and my parents object. Ask friends in Shanghai to answer.

In the early years, most people who moved to Shanghai from Jiangbei or Subei were poor or refugees. When they arrive in Shanghai, they can only mix at the bottom of society or engage in some jobs with lower social status. Over time, the image of Jiangbei and Su Beiren was formed, uneducated, stingy, fierce and unreasonable. So many Shanghainese who are not from Jiangbei and Su Beiren are "cold" to Jiangbei and Su Beiren. Even some Shanghainese born in Jiangbei and Subei of Shanghai are unwilling to fill Jiangbei or Subei in their hometown after their children are born.

Besides, getting married in China is never about two people, but about two families.

Therefore, your parents' worries are understandable. The so-called "not afraid of 10 thousand, just afraid of one thousand." Imagine, who is willing to take the risk of marrying an uneducated daughter-in-law; Who wants to risk a stingy, fierce and unreasonable in-laws?

It takes time and energy for your parents to fully accept your girlfriend and her family. It seems that only in this way can parents deepen their understanding of their girlfriends, "convince people with reason and move people with emotion". After all, many established concepts, even if they are outdated, are not so easy to completely change.
