Zaolian (Chinese: 早恋; literal meaning "early love") in mainland China means "to have a romantic relationship too early"^[1] and refers to adolescent romantic relationships before university. In China, many conservative parents and educators supporting examination-based education think that "zaolian" will bring many problems such as it will affect students' study ability and marks, or that zaolian relationships will almost always split in the end.
