People's Daily Online)  08:18, July 10, 2013  

Some parents prefer to print it out, for the sake of beauty, and make it more like a resume, which includes the child’s age, height, education, job, salary, house and hukou.

According to statistics, information of women accounted for 63.04 percent; local people accounted for 89.13 percent; white-collar workers accounted for 39.1 percent.

An old lady surnamed Su unintentionally says that her son has a girl friend right now. Su seems not satisfied with her future daughter-in-law so she comes to the blind date corner, looking for a perfect match for her son. Su defends herself, “Because I know the marriage ‘market’ at present. Marriage is like shopping. My son’s social contacts are very limited. So I come to the market to choose the candidates for him. ”

In front of a booth, a mother complained to her husband, "Today’s business is not very good; we have only a few visitors.” She told her husband that one evening she overheard a dialogue between two mothers. Both seemed satisfied with the other’s child.
