The Spring Festival is approaching, telling a story about returning to your hometown for the New Year. A pair of sisters decided to go back to their hometown for the New Year, but unexpectedly attracted a matchmaking craze.
The protagonists of the story are two single girls. They are busy working in the city all year round, and during the Spring Festival, they return to their hometowns early to prepare for a good rest.
After returning to their hometown, they were surprised to find that the people in the village were very concerned about their return to their hometown for the Chinese New Year. Especially those aunts who have been matchmakers all year round, when they heard that two unmarried girls had returned, they immediately rushed to stuff their mouths and took single boys to the door on a blind date.
Marriage is an important event in everyone's life, and it is also a matter of special importance to rural Chinese society. Due to the exodus from rural areas, many young people are working in cities, resulting in rural areas becoming a concentration of "leftover men and women". In this context, it is undoubtedly a rare opportunity for girls to return to the village for the New Year, and they have become the objects of recommendation by matchmakers.
Traditionally, matchmakers in rural areas have played an important role as intermediaries, helping young people find suitable marriage partners in order to maintain social stability. Now, with the advancement of urbanization, young people in rural areas are increasingly choosing to settle in cities. Young people who remain in rural areas face even greater pressure to marry, as they often cannot find a suitable partner. Therefore, it is a rare opportunity for the girls to return to the village for the Chinese New Year.
The long queue of matchmakers back in the village for the Chinese New Year is a microcosm of the social changes in rural China. It is hoped that through this phenomenon, we can pay more attention to the issue of rural marriage, and strengthen the connection between urban and rural marriage markets, so as to provide more opportunities for young people in rural areas.
