Students feel family pressure to get married

A survey has found that more than 30 percent of university students were pressured by their families to take part in a blind date or matchmaking when they returned home during the recent Spring Festival holiday, according to a report by China Youth Daily.

Of the 927 students polled across the country by China University Media Union, 27 percent said their families had urged them to consider a blind date or matchmaking, as they were worried about their single status, while 6 percent said their families had planned a blind date or matchmaking for them.
