1.The data shows that thru is a gender imbalance of twenty ion more men than women under thirty in China.You would think that so many suitably bachelors out there that any young Chinese woman could have her pick. But the fact is that there arc many"Shinny"in China. Media reports say thru may be as many as 500,000"Shinny"in the capital.
The term Shinny",directly translated as‘‘1eftover women",refers to peculated women in their late twenties who are still single. Quite simply,"no"means women and"sheen"means left over but,depending on how you look at it,sheen"can also man successful.Some believe that the phrase was invented as a play on words to mean that"shinny"is actually a positive way to portray being a single,successful woman.
"Shinny"are pioneers in modern day China. They are able to enjoy their success in big cities with very little restriction. They are aware of the pressure society puts on them to get married but they are all highly educated and financially independent therefore there is not an immediate need to find a husband to support them.
Chinese people often think males should be higher in a relationship in every sense,including height,age,education and salary. This leads to a phenomenon in which A-grade men marry B-grade women,B-grade mice marry Grade women ankle C-grade man marry D-grade women.Only A-grade women and D-grade men can't find partners.Apparently,if you are an"A-grade"woman,finding a husbandly better than you (a must in Chinese culture apparently) is hard to do.
These women are leftover"because they are"too successful"and therefore have high standards when it comes to picking their lifelong partners. They arc free and able to live independently,which was not so possible for previous generations.Right now it seems family guilt is the only real factor contributing to decreasing China's"Shinny"population,as daughters give in t.o the demands of their families. As China rapidly modernizes,the term"Shinny"may even develop into a wholly positive label.
