WHAT's ON WITH JAMES
   / @mk_chronicles  

As marriage and birth rates in China have been on a downward trajectory for much of the past decade, statistics now indicate there are more than 200 million single men and women of marriageable age. While some choose to remain celibate when faced with modern financial pressures, there are still many who attend public matchmaking events in cities across China, where young people or their parents display profiles for everyone to see in the hope of finding the right match.

Chongqing Matchmaking Corner has become a regular fixture in People's Park every Saturday morning in downtown Jiefangbei. This small verdant enclave was originally the first public park to open in the city, and now thousands of prospective marriage suitors and their parents crowd this picturesque location tucked amidst the ultra modern skyline, with many singles born of the 80s and 90s generation, and elders anxious for them to find companionship for the rest of their lives.

Since this bustling weekly get-together has gained wide attention on social media in Chongqing, take this opportunity to visit Matchmaking Corner through What's On With James, where you can experience the lively atmosphere, learn the personal stories behind people looking for suitors, and discover related services on offer like matchmaking clubs and fortune tellers.

In this unique installment of WOWJ, WCICO reporter James Alexander makes the short walk from the Liberation Monument in the company of his Chinese wife Lucky, and explores Matchmaking Corner as a couple whilst trying to avoid being taken for an eligible bachelor. Neverthess, see how we are both approached by friendly elder women hoping to find a match for their unmarried sons and daughters heading well into middle age.
