¡SOLTERAS DE LUJO! Pagan por amor, pero NADIE aparece. ¿Crisis de citas en China?

Luxury singles pay for love, but no one shows up. Quarantine crisis in China? In today's China, the marriage market has become increasingly distorted. Many women no longer seek to build a career or a relationship. They focus exclusively on finding rich and successful men who they can depend on for the rest of their lives. But men are not naive. They increasingly prefer to remain single rather than accept relationships with couples they consider demanding, unrealistic, or disconnected from reality. An elderly woman went on a date with a rich man, made bold demands, and was immediately fired. I don't like men who don't earn at least 200,000 yuan a month. I spend hundreds of thousands a month on bags, cosmetics, and clothes. Drinking tea with my friends, going out to eat. If you can't earn that, how are you going to support me? I'll tell you the truth, I don't even have 20 yuan in my pocket. I earn 200,000 yuan a month on the internet, but still. I want someone else to support me. This is not an isolated story. Conversations like this have become increasingly common and absurd. Hey, my friend just broke up with her boyfriend. Do you want to look for another one? Do you have anyone on your network? What kind of man are you looking for? Give him security. He has to be rich, have a stable life, always with money. It is better if he is ambitious and can earn much more in the future. In addition, he must be romantic, know how to spend money on her, have a sense of detail, and not skimp on anything. And tell me, why did he break up with his ex? He was a good person, but he spent little on her. For some, spending money is no longer a romantic gesture. It is an unnegotiable requirement. It is not about affection or shared values. Money is now the basis of the relationship. Well, after talking to you for so long, I feel that you are a good person. And your financial situation is fine. As a gift for meeting us. What do you think if we go to the mall later and you buy me a bag? Not very expensive, about 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. Oh, I mean, we go to the mall now and I buy you a bag of 20,000 or 30,000 yuan? As a sign of sincerity? Eh, but I still can't accept your conditions. Eh? What conditions? Let's see, you haven't said it clearly. How much exactly do you plan to give as a gift? A million, more or less. Something for my family, something for my younger brother, and the rest for personal expenses. You decide. A million yuan? Unacceptable. Isn't that normal for a marriage? It's a gift. This is very common. Give what should be given to the woman. And the car you mentioned, that one has to be bought before the marriage, right? Yes. If you are not willing to pay, how would I dare to be with you? Where there is love, there is money. If you are not willing to spend on me, how will I know that you really care? Hmm, and if I do this? If I meet your conditions, the car will be bought after the marriage, and it will be in your name. I will also put your name on the house deed. As for the bag, I will buy it for you when we are engaged. But I don't want to spend tens of thousands today, on a blind date. But I have to test you. If you are not willing to spend even that money, how am I going to be with you? I worked hard to earn that money. Each yuan is hard to earn. How can you be so imaginative? But you earn so much. It is as if 100 yuan did not hurt you. Yes, but we are not even friends. We did not know each other before. Today we met for the first time thanks to a marriage. Your way of thinking has a root problem. Cheap. You are a cheap man. Although extreme, this scene reflects a real trend. Higher expectations, with little awareness of reality. A sample of the imbalance in the current dating market, where what is demanded many times, far exceeds what is offered. Sometimes, blind dates in China feel less like a romantic encounter, and more like a strange mixture between a well of desires, a reality show of talents, and a fantasy drama. Someone appears and says, I just want to find someone to let me live. Well, if you are about to marry the heir of a rich family, you better be a project worth investing in. These men are not stupid. They invest in valuable assets, not in beautiful actions that only know how to speak sweetly. You think you are looking for a husband, but in reality you have launched your own show of romantic talents, and the ticket costs money. The real problem is not having high standards, the problem is not having self-awareness to know if you can meet them. Dreaming is not bad, but do not confuse fantasy with reality. It is good to want to lie down in life, but first you have to learn to stand up. Collapse in Fuzhou. Massive protests and the end of the Chinese coastal miracle. In a place that was once celebrated as the economic miracle of China, something is breaking. Shops are closed, houses are worthless, and the silence of the missing businessmen sounds louder than any protest. What is really happening in Fujian? In Xiamen, business owners are disappearing. Some in silence, others suddenly. Following the rules feels like a slow death, breaking them like an execution. Tens of thousands of micro and small businessmen live on the edge of the abyss. Orders have fallen by 60% and profit margins are thinner than a sheet of A4 paper. Bosses trapped in networks of triangular debts go and come between banks and courts. More than 90% already have their credit history destroyed. Banks do not forgive. Many have mortgaged their homes. They have turned to informal lenders just to pay their salaries and cry alone in empty factories at night. Working now is too hard. There are no customers. At home, we only grow vegetables, we get water from the well, and we eat simple. It's quiet, but we all go out looking for something better. Fujian, once the pride of the Chinese coastal economy and a symbol of private entrepreneurship, is now headed by a sluggish list. It is the first great victim of economic collapse. Its powerful exporting industries, from textiles and footwear to electronics, once made their cities work 24-7. But now the lights are going out. In Fuzhou, the bankruptcy rate of restaurants in the last three years rose 100%. High rents, labor costs and brutal competition have crushed small businesses. Typical family restaurants are losing the battle against the brand chains, with more logistics and advertising. Boss, are you going to go through their store? No, but many later did. There they sold snacks, then perfumes. Now it's closed. In the commercial center, Dongbai de Fu'an, the closures are accumulating. Equal offers, inefficient services and abusive conditions make it almost impossible to survive. In Baolong, Chongfang, Wanbao City, the stores are empty. Now the owners carry the weight. The one that was a commercial hermitage, Kangshan Wanda, is now a shell. Most of the stores are under-rented or closed. Even the popular brands can't survive here. In just 20 meters, five stores have gone bankrupt. The Yonghui supermarket, on the well-known Student Street, closed its doors. And it's not the only one. A restaurant closed after 20 years of struggle. A manager of a hotel chain sums it all up. Prices have plummeted beyond imagination. In Jinshan, Fuzhou, a house that used to be worth 3 million yuan, is now auctioned off for just 1 million. The mortgages skyrocket, especially among the entrepreneurs who bet on the brick to finance their businesses. Now they face debts over properties that have lost half of their value. In the real estate market in Fuzhou, panic has broken out. Everyone wants to sell. An agent claims that second-hand ads have reached record figures. In Taihe, Fuzhou Bai, a man pleaded to sell a house valued at 2.4 million for 1.3 million. Unsuccessful. Prices plummet. Many predict a 50% plummet, turning many cities into Hegang models, where real estate is no longer worth anything. They go bankrupt. Unemployment is rampant. Even months after the Spring Festival, dozens continue to apply for jobs every day. An entrepreneur fired his veteran team and now cooks himself to reduce costs. At the doors of factories, judicial seals and sentences are placed. A case, Songmu Technology, valued at 9 billion yuan in its day, and backed by giants like Xiaomi and Lenovo, has closed. The director has disappeared. Workers have not been paid for three months. Another example. A shoe factory in Fujian, which used to export millions of pairs to the United States, now does not receive a single order. Production has stopped, and 2,000 employees are on salary suspension. Fujian's private companies have lived for years between high debts, suffocating costs, and tiny margins. With the commercial pressures of EAA and the internal economic slowdown, many have chosen to leave. It is not just the fall of a few factories or stores. It is the collapse of a dream. Business to business, family to family, one voice disappeared after another. Fujian is the warning. Who will be next? Deadly floods in China. Submerged villages and the PCH keep silent. The house has gone. Oh, oh, oh. From June 18 to 21, torrential rains hit the south of China, causing serious floods and landslides in provinces like Hunan, Hubei, Guangxi, Chongqing, and Guizhou. Oh, what fear. So much water. These images show the floods in Chongqing, where the streets turned into rivers. You can see two men fighting against the rising waters. There are no more electric motorcycles. Look at that man. Vehicles were dragged by the current, reduced to simple defenseless objects by the force of nature. The water took it. This car has taken the water. And many more too. My God. In the face of the disaster, many residents had no choice but to wait for the rescue. The waters even flooded subway stations and schools. In an ironically gloomy scene, a propaganda poster of the Chinese Communist Party stands out among the flood. Fight for 100 years starts a new path. Come here, come here. In the province of Hubei, the devastation was equally severe. A car submerged in the waters showed its windshield still in motion. A disturbing sign that someone could be trapped inside. Hurry up. Those good kids are coming out. Where are you going? Look, we live on the third floor. The second is already flooded. It's flooded. The first floor is completely under the water. I ran to the third. It's too high. I just came from there. Suddenly there was a landslide. I can't get through. I can't get through. What do I do? The bridge just collapsed. My God. The water. In the city of Chonglu, in Lichuan, Enshi, Hubei, it was one of the most affected areas. A video recorded from a lifeboat shows the water reaching the first floor of the buildings. It's a hen. The hen is still there. Breaking news. Look at this railing. Each post is almost under the water and the Haitong market is about to be flooded. What can I do? The bathroom under the bridge has already been dragged full of waste. This water is going to cover the entire bridge. In Macheng, Hubei. A woman desperately observed how her flower beds were swallowed by the flood. The province of Hunan also suffered extensive damage. Until June 21, 310 dams had exceeded their capacity. More than 400,000 residents in seven cities and prefectures, including the autonomous prefecture of Xiangxi Tuxia and Miao, Changxiajie and Changde, were affected. Villagers of Xixiping in Changxiajie reported that their villages had become a real ocean. In total, 13 rivers and 16 monitoring stations exceeded the emergency levels. In the county of Ronggan, Guangxi, the Rongjiang River rose to 115.15 meters, exceeding the warning line. The flood in the Jingchengjiang market has reached the second floor. My God, this is much scarier. It is worse than the 1998 flood. The water in Jingchengjiang has dropped a lot today, but this market has not recovered anything yet. Everything that was not sold was soaked and ruined. The losses are enormous. People are suffering again. In the village of Lihu in Hechi, Guangxi, the overflowing waters covered roads, structures and key infrastructures. Yes, it looks like a whirlpool. About 50 meters from the Fengyu Bridge in the village of Pengyue, there was another landslide, also quite large. Today it has not cleared, so it is difficult to pass. Only motorcycles and pedestrians can cross, but everyone must be very careful. Everyone must be careful when passing through these areas. In social networks, frustration grew as the water rose, while official support disappeared. It barely rains, but we are drowning from below. Reconstruction to increase GDP? Tell the families who lost everything. Flood control? Zero. World-class military technology? The people suffer. Officials get rich. State media remained silent. Users made fun of the contrast between tragedy and propaganda. Look at the floods. Then change to CCTV. Suddenly, life is a sweet dream. Anger gave way to disbelief. They spend billions on global events, but not a cent for the victims of the floods. Officials are sitting on mountains of gold and cash, and we are told to self-rescue. No high-ranking leader of the Communist Party appeared in the affected areas. Instead, they focused on watching the citizens, censoring voices, and expanding control inside and outside the country. For many, the message is clear. The regime not only abandons the people in times of crisis, hides suffering, buries the truth, and protects its power above all.
