The purpose of the Chinese marriage market

According to a Chinese man, the marriage market is the place where parents of unmarried adults gather to find spouses for their children.

The parents advertise their single adult children on a piece of paper at the marriage market, held at People's Park in Shanghai, the biggest city in China.

The advertised piece of paper contains information such as date of birth, height, job, income, education, family values, Chinese zodiac sign, and personality of the bachelor or spinster.

The TikTok video sighted by YEN.com.gh showed the piece of paper, which was hung up on long strings among other parents' advertisements for their children.

Speaking to King Kwesi, the Chinese man, however, explained that the possibility of finding the right match was very limited.

"It's possible to find a wife here, but the success is very little," he said.
