A French proverb, well-known among Chinese through a novel by Chien Chung-shu, says: "Marriage is like a fortress besieged; those outside want to get in, those inside want to get out." According to statistics from the Ministry of the Interior, last year in Taiwan 57,000 couples divorced. That means one couple abandoned the "fortress besieged" every ten minutes on average.
根據內政部統計，去年一年，台灣有將近五萬七千對夫妻離婚，平均不到十分鐘就有一對夫妻撕毀當年的甜蜜盟約，逃出婚姻圍城。
