Want to marry rich? Then the unlikely named Beijing Moral Education Centre for Women is for you.
For 30 hours of training costing 20,000 yuan (S$3,783), women keen to snag a billionaire, millionaire or even just an affluent man learn techniques to make them more attractive, from how to put on make-up in the most flattering way to how to spot a liar by looking at his facial expressions.
The school in the world’s second-largest economy - home to 189 billionaires and just under one million millionaires - has attracted over 2,800 mainly middle class women since it opened in August last year, and students such as 23-year-old Zhou Yue believe it’s time and money well spent. ‘My family had a business and there was a time when things were very difficult for us,’ she told Reuters. ‘During that period, I was struggling a lot inside, asking myself why we have to do this, why my childhood had to be so different from other people’s. So I thought to myself, if I can marry a rich man, at least I won’t have any worries.’
Students are taught conversation skills, personality development and traditional tea-pouring techniques, which convey elegance.
The centre’s founder, Shao Tong, also teaches at the school, focusing on pointing out to students how to decipher a man’s character and personality.
In the past few months, the school says it has successfully matched 30 couples that resulted in marriage.
