‘Too busy to seek a partner’
Print Edition
THE Shanghai Love and Marriage Fair — the city’s biggest matchmaking event — attracted more than 10,000 participants this year.
As usual, the Pudong event attracted many anxious singles and parents. A woman who identified herself as Auntie Liu was one of them — she was looking for a spouse for her daughter.
She made a point of asking for the information on each male participant she met at the event. Her daughter, a 34-year-old auditor, however, wasn’t with her.
“My daughter was still working today, and she was too busy to seek a partner,” Liu said. “I was very worried because marriage seems to be increasingly difficult as she gets older, and I hope someone can take care of her because I cannot accompany her for a life time,” she said.
Jeccica Zhang, a 28-year-old advertisement company worker, was another who attended the fair. She said she was under parental pressure to find a partner.
“My mother keeps talking and I usually turn a deaf ear. But I also want to make her happy.” But Zhang said she did not find anyone potentially suitable.
