Exploring the life of 'leftover women'

Among the phenomena that have contributed to new words in the Chinese vocabulary, shengnu, or "leftover women", has become the subject matter of numerous films, novels and TV series.

Now comes the stage comedy, The Marriage of Qian Duoduo, adapted from a popular novel by Ren Haizhong.

Qian, played by Xie Chengying, a graduate of Shanghai Academy of Drama, is a typical shengnu - a single, well educated, highly-paid and independent urbanite in her 30s. She is under great pressure to marry from her parents and her married friends. She goes on blind dates every week, each of which turns into a bizarre experience.
