According to Abraham Maslow’s pyramid of human needs, love and belonging are only secondary to our needs for sustenance and safety. Yet anyone who has ever been in love will tell you that they would gladly forsake food and risk their lives for one tender embrace. Romance in Beijing, however, can evoke some other emotions, from frustration to confusion, and in some cases, pure bliss. Jo Gan blogs about her experiences with all of these in her blog Life Behind the Wall. Check out her interview, and her blog, for a frank conversation on what it means to be a modern couple. Also be sure to read psychologist Rik Ruiter’s advice on good, and bad, relationships, and author Chandran Nair’s proposal for tough love in economics.
