Marriage Market

In Lord Bao Park in Hefei, the capital of China's Anhui province. But this could also be in a park of any other Chinese city.

 

On hundreds of metres of clotheslines hang information about people looking for a partner to marry. These advertisements attract parents of unmarried adult offspring and well-meaning uncles, aunts and older friends of theirs, but especially the curious. The marriage seekers themselves, however, never show their faces in such places. They are too shy.
