"Left-over girls" are increasingly visible in today’s China. They are the ladies who are above 30 years old and still remain single. To their parents’ surprise, many of the "left-over girls" are not particularly eager to get married, which is in great contrast to the traditional Chinese belief. In your opinion, what are the major reasons leading to this phenomenon? Write an essay of about 400 words. You should supply an appropriate title for your essay.

答案
On "Left-over Girls" A handsome salary, complete confidence and self-reliance are all the typical elements of "left-over girls", a derogatory term to describe those single ladies above 30 years old in China The group is increasing its size by each passing day, as more and more white-collar ladies join the rank. As I see it, the emergence of this social rank is attributed to the improved status of women and the social progress regarding the marriage concept. First and foremost, with the hard-won gender equality in China, females are now better exposed to job opportunities than ever before. People are no longer surprised by a female judge, doctor, policewoman, and many other professions occupied by women. They and their male counterparts enjoy equal pay in the same job. This has empowered females to be independent, without relying on their boyfriends or husbands to support them financially. With a decent income, ladies are able to buy whatever they desire and lead a life on their own terms. In this regard, ladies have more say in a relationship, which might hurt the macho feelings harbored by many Chinese men. That is why they tend to avoid ladies who are earning the same money, if not more, as they do. Furthermore, the changes of marriage concept also allow more tolerance and freedom to women when it comes to marriage choices. In ancient China, most of marriages were notoriously arranged by parents who had no regard for their children, especially daughters. As the society evolves itself, China is now more tolerant of when and how people get married. Ladies may choose to get rid of all the trivial rituals and have a western style wedding. Similarly, they can also choose not to get married even when they come of age. It is true that some of the "leftover girls" are constantly subject to the nagging of their parents. But the good news is that if you really want to stay out of the wedlock, your parents cannot tie the knot for you, which is invariably the norm in the old society of China The outdated concepts of arranged marriage and "marry sooner than later" have been eliminated by the social progress. In conclusion, we should not cry for "left-over girls", because they are not the abandoned girls, but loaded ladies, loaded in two senses—financially and spiritually. Instead, we should celebrate for ’leftover girls", because they are symbolic of the gender equality and tolerant attitude towards marriage choices.
