I just came across a fascinating article in the most recent edition of
Foreign Policy magazine. Don’t worry, this isn’t some dry treatise on détente or Thom Friedman’s latest paean to globalization. Instead, it is right up the alley of our shared interests and extremely relevant to your pursuits on this website Titled “The Startling Plight of China’s Leftover Women” and written by Christina Larson the essay begins with an interesting conundrum. If men outnumber women in Chinese society, why are there a growing number of unmarried women here?

A small piece of trivia crossed my path the other day, a few pictures from the ChengDu Police micro blog of eligible young policemen that may be suitable for 'shedding single status' this year...true, about 10 steely-eyed young men, 24-29 years old, each carrying automatic weapons or in poses of ’rushing to assist’ kittens out of trees and old ladies to cross the road... in full riot gear. It somehow had me giggling! Yes, I know that in other countries they do posters/calendars of semi-naked sports stars or local firemen going buff for charity with a strategically placed high-pressure nozzle over the nether-regions, but I haven't really seen the idea of photographing young men at work with the expressed objective of ’marrying them off’. What next, introducing 5 single farmers of the week on CCTV 4 between the news and weather report? Or Bachelors of the PLA between the pictures of them firing guns and driving tanks?

There are a few questions from guys that can really piss me off nicely. It might come out unconsciously as a habit that a man tries to impress a lady on the first conversation. Yet it hits me like a clocked bomb when I hear this:

Religion is often considered a big deal in dating in America. There are whole dating websites devoted to members of a single religion. Along with one’s political affiliation, religious belief is often a significant factor in the selection of a life partner. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Shared values are important in a meaningful relationship, and one’s religion and politics are, in America, a reasonable indicator of one’s value scheme.

Love is a legend. It’s not common. It should be locked in a crystal box and kept away from noises and dusts. Nowadays it gets used and abused quite often. Most people don’t even know what it is. They talk about it; they say it and they think they have it. No, they don’t have it; they are using its name to get what they want.

If you read the introductions on CLM, many Chinese women (over the age of 30) will describe themselves as being 'traditional'.

(This blog post will be more meaningful if you've read the first one...) Ask anyone who has ever been to China and tried to cross the road as a pedestrian or even worse, caught a taxi – rules are irrelevant!!! Well, maybe this is a bit excessive because obviously people do follow a rules or two when driving a car – those are
