Traditionally, Chinese females have for ages been regarded as being obedient, faithful and caring women. They were taught by their parents to remain lovable, respect their husbands, take care of the children and run the house. This submissive image of the Chinese woman later led to attract many foreign men trying to find a wife or anyone to run their household.
As more and more Chinese women set out to attend universities and create solid careers, the picture of the submissive Chinese wife has given way to the tiger woman stereotype. Further, women have been freed from the expectation of an arranged marriage and won the ability to pursue education, to compete for the very same jobs as Chinese men and, most importantly, to become a part of China's super-rich.
This new generation of highly capable women aren't ready to settle for just any man, but simultaneously they desperately need to get married. They make up a group of women aged 26 to 34 who've been constantly rejected by guys that aren't comfortable with their careers and achievements. Others have struggled in relationships with boyfriends who expected them to not spend as much time at work and focus more on domestic and family life. As if this weren't bad enough, the nation's communist government has was able to stir up the problem even further by ordering its feminist All-China Women's Federation to utilize the derogatory term 'leftover women' as a way to urge them into marriage.
A lot of Chinese men feel that a woman which has a higher university degree would be too hard to control and prefer to find less educated wives, that would depend more on them. This dependence is maybe the main reason why divorce remains a rare thing in China. As a matter of fact, it is common for The chinese to treat foreigners as serious marriage partners. Many believe that foreigners don't value marriage, since divorce is a common thing in many western countries. What they fail to understand, however, is that the modern Chinese woman of today is certainly going through what our mothers went through in the late 60s. When the young western women of the 60s and 70s broke free from the picture of the housewife of the 50s, they were left to cope with guys that were raised to believe that a good wife is a house wife. Unfortunately, they weren't so quick to adapt to the latest mindset of their females and eventually failed to hold their marriages together.
In China, as women start to build their own careers and turn independent from men, they too, are realizing that frequently it's preferable to be alone than in bad company. They do know their real value and are getting more demanding than ever before.
