Bride crossing Hong Kong is a popular form of marriage in overseas Chinese hometown in Guangdong after World War II. At that time, there were more overseas Chinese men than women making a living overseas. Young men of marriageable age must go back to China or find partners from Hongkong and Macau if they want to marry their spouses of the same race abroad. Coupled with the inconvenient transportation, long running time and high cost, the "bride crossing the street" came into being.

The blind date of Hong Kong brides is conducted by letters. First of all, it is indirectly introduced by relatives and friends of one party. Both men and women send each other a full-length and half-length photo, and attach their own detailed life information (including family status and resume, etc.). ) After both parties are interested in each other, they will make further written contact until the conditions for marriage are agreed. As for whether the two sides are in love, we can't draw a conclusion until after marriage.

Once the engagement is settled, it is convenient for the man to remit the employment fee and travel expenses, and handle the immigration formalities for the overseas Chinese on his behalf, and inform the woman to go abroad to get married on time. This is a "bride who has crossed the harbor".

Later, the traffic conditions improved, and the marriage negotiation form of "overseas brides" also changed. Most of them came back to Hong Kong from abroad for a period of time. After finding a satisfactory object, after a short exchange, they talked about the conditions and finished the formalities, and left first. Then, the woman went abroad with a dowry and became a bride.
