Looking for Love


China has 22% of the world´s population, which means that there is a lot of millions of people there right? And even though they are a lot they have problems finding love.







China has the one child policy so they prefer to have boys and if they know they are going to have girls they can have an abortion so as a result there is a wide gap between the number of girls and of boys.

Girls don´t look for looks, they look for someone who can support them economically, that means that they search for someone with a job. Hundreds of Chinese graduate but only a few get jobs so; many of them are old and still living with their parent, that’s when the parents come in.

There is this big event in which parents with boys have a blue ribbon around their wrist and if you have a daughter the ribbon is red. Then around you there are a lot of cards with information and a picture and parents just go to other person and ask about his or her kid to see if they could be happy if they married.

So this event wouldn´t have to happen if China wasn´t so bad with girls, they are important.Going to a place like that as if it was a market its really sad and I fear is going to get worse each year.
