Even if it's the case you've never heard the phrase "he made the trains run on time", what do you think the purpose of this film was? After all, it was not a travelogue.

      roflammo, Actually, the true reason for this is s a little sad - between 1955 and - first until the end of the Mao's mandate (1977) but in some cases until 1981 (worker's dormitories and the likes) there was a strict hierarchy on who could and couldn't date and marry, relying more on the incomes of the parties, maturity, and "ideological readiness" - for example Chinese university students could date, but could not marry (and in some cases - the Chinese Gen X exchange students, you can hear it from "horse's mouth" - they went abroad to be able to date and marry).
      The young woman here was probably trying to be kind to her boyfriend, but since they were filmed this would be a public display of affection, of what it probably a "forbidden" relationship - judging by their age they could have been students, but since they were not allowed PDA, it's probable that both were of lower class going to a trade school, and thus not allowed to date or marry until graduation and having gotten a job.
      No different really from the American extreme Christians with their "no dating and no sex before marriage" schtick, and with the same result - people leaving their communities and running away from the crazy "requirements" like that.
      Very fortunately, for the Chinese people, this stopped decades ago.
      Here you are.
