Now that is something! Are they usually successful in finding dates for their sons and daughters?
I’m not really sure whether they’re usually successful or not. I guess it may help introducing potential partners to each other. But they won’t be forced, esp. in the cities, into a marriage they don’t want.
Must be very interesting, and seeing as there are more boys than gorls in China, I guess the parents of daughters get greater choice!
