in Jeng do like many other cities in
China your parents can even pop down the
park to pick you up a pond
so I'm in that weird sort of mid 30
moment where where I've got no choice
but whenever I meet up with an older
family member after deal with why aren't
you married yet conversation it is a
little crazy being here because I know
that my mom would be an irrelevant so
what brings you down to the marriage
market are you looking for a partner
yourself so what sort of information is
actually written on the boards that are
plastered up and down the pathway oh joy
I want her to chat into a corner you
want my advice is that why do you think
that parents see this as being the best
way to find a partner for their kids
here to encourage and educate older
teenagers or to inquire I hosted version
of a chance blow job so much easier
toward italo's here yes II know for
certain it impossible to show wear
something over the last 15 years these
marriage markets have appeared in major
cities all over China
and while the neva them might be a
symptom of time-starved modern
lifestyles they also plug into the
tradition the families having a role in
arranging marriages

why do you think the adults in here can
you see today are you there for home I'd
like to highlight all that you
although modern Chinese women are more
career-focused
there is a derogatory term in Chinese
show new meaning leftover women for
those still unmarried after their
mid-20s and this stigma still worries
parents but women have more chance of
finding love than men during the years
of the one-child policy boys were
favored over girls so now there are 34
million more men than women so if you
don't mind me asking how old are you and
are you single somebody of your age is
it harder to find someone do you change
it how examples of how young girls will
be dire news you know they sound
decanting to college and they are kind
single what would you make so he was
your son's Alan do you think the society
plays a part in the pressure that these
parents film composer sufu so chicken so
Dada Ali G with hominids and Vanya
passages on Johan born Incheon Busan
Kerby Itachi in way Tommy often thought
of us gender
I think for some of the younger kids
they're coming down here
it's kind of funny to them because the
girls who are like in their late teens
early 20s or coming down and taking
pictures of some of the signs giggling
and running away because I think for
them this is probably the height of
embarrassment to sort of
a laundry list of what makes you amazing
the bigger being advertised and you
almost being sold to our potential sewer
maybe less the generational thing maybe
that's a youth thing I don't know but I
know that if my mother put our perform
with my details on him I think I'd be
mortified
