Traditionally, Chinese girls have always been viewed as 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 home. This submissive picture of the Chinese woman later led to attract many foreign men trying to find a wife or someone 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 may not be prepared 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 men who are usually not 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 concentrate more on domestic and family life. As if this weren't bad enough, the country's communist government has was able to stir up the problem even more by ordering its feminist All-China Women's Federation to implement the derogatory term 'leftover women' in order to urge them into marriage.
A lot of Chinese men think that a female with a higher university degree might be too hard to manage and prefer to find less educated wives, who will depend more on them. This dependence is maybe the primary reason why divorce is still a rare thing in China. As a matter of fact, it is not uncommon for The chinese to regard foreigners as serious marriage partners. Many feel that foreigners don't value marriage, since divorce is a common thing in many western countries. What they neglect to understand, however, is the fact that 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 of the image of the housewife of the 50s, they were left to cope with guys who were raised to think that a good wife is often a house wife. Unfortunately, they weren't so quickly to adapt to the latest mindset of their females and eventually failed to hold their marriages together.
In China, as women begin to build their own personal careers and stay independent from men, they too, are acknowledging that sometimes it is better to be alone than in bad company. They do know their real value and so are getting more demanding than previously.
