More women in rural Hunan seek responsible suitors

China Daily | Updated: 2019-02-25 08:07

For single women in China, especially in the rural areas, 29 seems to be a "dreadful" age. However, for Yang Yunfei who is entering her 30s, she is in no rush to get married.

Yang is from Shibadong, a Miao minority village in Central China's Hunan province. Shibadong in Chinese means 18 caves, as there are 18 natural karst caves in the village. The scarcity of arable land was the biggest obstacle to villagers hoping to improve their lives.

Yang was a well-known "poor girl" in her village. Her parents relied on a meager 0.2 hectares of land to support Yang's aging and sick grandparents, Yang, and her younger siblings.
