How do Chinese marry? The Weird story behind Marriage market in China | Global Kannadiga

If you wander through People’s Park in Chengdu, Sichuan, you’ll come across a small crowd of greying heads with laminated sheets of paper laid out on either side of the path.
The concept of marriage, seemingly individualistic in outlook, has more often than not served as a tool to propagate and preserve a people and their culture. After all, the family is the basic unit of society.
However, for varying reasons, finding the “right” life partner has proven, in most cases, to be a challenge for millions of people around the world. It is so big an issue that it spurned off a phenomenon known as “Marriage Markets” in China.
Just like your typical neighbourhood market, the Marriage Market hosts people who congregate to advertise and peruse their “products.” But unlike your typical market, these “products,” so to speak, are unmarried sons and daughters.
Every weekend, at popular public places such as the People’s Park in Shanghai and at several parks and other public places in Beijing, concerned parents (and sometimes grandparents) congregate to advertise and scout out potential spouses for their unmarried children.
Typically, parents post sheets of paper detailing their child’s eligibility as a potential spouse and the qualities a prospective son- or daughter-in-law should have. According to a 2018 survey of the Shanghai Marriage Market, some of the qualities include;
Age: When stating their preferences for potential spouses, the majority of men were seeking younger women, while women preferred someone closer to their own age. Most of the advertisements are for people aged 25-30.
Education and employment status: Job and education are two of the essential pieces of personal information every advertisement lists. According to the survey, the dating pool was highly educated, with two-thirds of both men and women having attained a bachelor’s degree or higher. Among those who stated an educational qualification for potential spouses, a majority of women were seeking a partner with a similar level of education, while men preferred slightly less accomplished partners.
One of the consequences is the marriage market, where many parents who are eager to marry off their children advertise them at the market, often without their consent.

I came across your channel from Indo Trekker's vlogs and must say, you make better vlogs than them! You narrate very well, show a lot more and well informed. Unfortunately your subtitles does not come through, so I don't understand what you say. I just follow the visuals and try to catch the English words.
