Quote by Botan

“It is becoming quite irksome, this stubbornness of hers about marrying. Suitors do appear occasionally, men eager to marry her, but she will have nothing to do with any of them. I wouldn't be at all surprised if she picked the worst of the lot in the end; as an old Thai saying goes, she who has one chance to walk the length of the garden in search of the perfect rose may have to pick in haste from the last bush.”

“In the past, Chinese women have to get married because they don't have economic independence. The only way to improve their social status is by getting married and having a child, or having lots of children. Chinese women now have a lot of economic independence. In fact, some are making more money than the males. We have recent reports saying that in many of the large cities, in fact, with regard to homebuyers, there are more young women than men buying homes these days. And some of those reflect that they have economic independence, but they also show that the marriage and fertility rates could be affected too if they're economically independent.”
