To marry, or not to marry, is a personal choice

DATA FROM THE NATIONAL BUREAU OF STATISTICS show that the marriage rate nationwide in 2018 was only 7.2 per thousand, the lowest for the past 10 years, and that 77 million adults remain single. Many people have expressed concern about this. But there is nothing to worry about, China Daily writer Zhang Zhouxiang comments:

One media outlet after another has hyped up the data with sensational headlines, and the media bombardment is one of the main reasons why many people have expressed concerns about the situation. One popular micro blog comment asked: "What can we do to help them?"

Worry and help are not really needed. In a modern society staying single by choice need not affect one's life quality.
