Background

Over 200 million people here in China were single by the end of 2015, bringing about the fourth wave of singledom in the country, China Central Television reported.

Meanwhile, the report said more and more people, especially women, are choosing to lead a single lifestyle. As social economy develops a society’s standard of living also improves; the Philosophy of Young People in China has changed. The younger generation no longer thinks that marriage is a top priority, They pay more attention to chasing their dreams and enjoying a young free and single life. Meanwhile, In big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, they’re working under high-pressure and don’t have time to develop their hobbies or social circle.
