But why are they so interested?
为什么大家如此感兴趣？
No other celebrity divorce or marriage has ever caused such a big stir on Chinese social media.
没有任何一位名人离婚或结婚的消息在中国社交媒体上引发如此大的轰动。
On the surface, this might seem like just another Chinese celebrity split. But what is it
表面上看，这可能不过是又一位中国明星离婚了。但为什么这一次却让全中国都为之震惊了呢？
Some people feel that this divorce seems to fit a certain trope - of a beautiful but ordinary girl marrying a rich but less good-looking man.
一些人认为这场离婚案正好体现了这一现象——一个美丽的普通女孩嫁给了一个有钱却不怎么好看的男人。
It is not uncommon to hear the belief that a couple has to "match" at every level - be it in status, or physical appearance - for a relationship to work out.
而人们也常说，夫妻双方在各个层面上都得“门当户对”——不论是地位上，还是外表上——这样婚姻才能长久。
An ancient Chinese classical novel even warned against unmatched marriages.
一部中国古代经典小说甚至对门不当户不对的婚姻发出过警示。
In the novel Water Margin, Pan Jinlian, a beautiful money-loving wife, cheats on her husband Wu Dalang, who is relatively more unattractive. She eventually kills him.
在小说《水浒传》中，潘金莲，一位美丽爱财的妻子，对她的丈夫，相貌平平的武大郎不忠。最终，她甚至杀害了他。
"The concept of being evenly matched is still one that is widely believed in China," Dr Mu Zheng, Assistant Professor, Department of Sociology at the National University of Singapore told the BBC`s Yvette Tan.
“门当户对这一概念在今天的中国依然被广为接受，”新加坡国立大学助理教授Mu Zheng博士，在接受BBC记者Yvette Tan 采访时说道。
"However, there is also the convention for women to `marry up` to more socioeconomically established men."
“然而，现在也有女性‘飞上枝头变凤凰’，嫁给一位更有社会经济地位的男性的说法。”
Wang and Ma`s split has many people wondering if uneven matches are unlikely to succeed.
王宝强和马蓉的离婚，也让许多人开始怀疑这样不般配的婚姻是否会以失败告终。
"If we look at this story, it seems like an ordinary girl marrying up to a famous and rich husband, which to a large extent is true. But if we look more closely, the husband in this case comes from a rural family, he did not have much education and his physical appearance is not very attractive. So to the husband, the wife is like a realised dream for him," Dr Mu says.
“这个故事一开始看起来就是一个普通女孩嫁了一个有名有钱的丈夫。但仔细一看，这场离婚案中的丈夫出身于一个农村家庭，他既没受过多少教育，相貌也并不出众。所以对于丈夫来说，妻子就像是美梦成真一般，”Mu 博士说道。
It`s also making people talk

A lot of social media discussion has also centred around divorce, and in particular how people can protect themselves.
许多社交媒体也在围绕离婚对此事进行讨论，尤其是人们在离婚时如何保护自己。
Wang has alleged that his wife transferred and hid some of the couple`s assets. They`re a wealthy couple - their assets, according to Chinese media, include nine flats, a BMW car and various luxury goods.
王宝强称他的妻子转移并藏匿了部分夫妻双方共同财产。这对夫妇十分有钱——据中国媒体报道，他们的资产包括了9套公寓，一辆宝马车以及各种奢侈品。
As a result, people are debating the
因此，人们也在讨论保护个人财产的重要性。
Attitudes towards divorce are fast changing in China, and divorce rates are on the rise.
在中国，人们对离婚的态度转变得很快，离婚率也在逐步上升。
State newspaper Global Times says a total of 3.84 million couples in China divorced in 2015, an increase of 5.6 from 2014.
中国《环球时报》报道，2015年，共有384万夫妻离婚，和2014年相比，增长了5.6。
"People are getting much more open to the idea of divorce now, especially as Chinese people become more educated and open-minded towards both marriage and divorce," says Dr Mu.
“现在，人们对于离婚持有一种越来越开放的观点，尤其在越来越多的中国民众接受过良好教育，对婚姻和离婚更加开放之后，”Mu 博士称。
"However, there is still some stigma attached to divorce, especially for women. The idea that the husband should be the main bread-winner and the wife should take care of the family is still the mainstream."
“然而，离婚仍带有些许污点的标签，尤其对于女人来说。而‘男主外，女主内’的观点依然是主流。”
