A 38-year-old woman recently garnered attention at a matchmaking corner in Jiangxia Park, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province.
The woman, who was holding a placard, delineated her criteria for a potential partner: a dowry of ¥800,000 and an annual income of at least ¥200,000. The woman, despite being older than the typical age for marriage in China, stood firm in her demands, sparking extensive discussions both online and offline.
The woman boasted an impressive personal profile, including a master's degree, the ownership of a vehicle and a house, a consistent annual income of ¥100,000, a height of 168 cm, and a weight of 128 pounds. Initially, her criteria for a companion seemed uncomplicated: a minimum of an associate degree and a height that was greater than hers.
Nevertheless, her requests for an annual income that was twice her own and a dowry of ¥800,000 drew attention.A group of elderly women congregated around her, reviewing her requirements. Numerous individuals conveyed scepticism and advised her to lower her expectations.
