From China Daily (link):
There was a time in China when a bride, who might have been 16 years old, didn’t see her betrothed’s face until his anxious hands removed her silken red veil on their wedding night.
These days, wealthy Chinese urbanites are doing no such thing. As karaoke bars sprout up on seemingly every street, and the Internet connects people to an infinite number of “friends,” many young adults eschew the idea of marriage, at least until they’ve reached an older age.
