Shanghai People’s Park Matchmaking Corner. An old man holds up a sign that reads: “Seeking a daughter-in-law. Preference for a 985 undergraduate degree, with overseas master’s candidates given priority. Height above 165 cm, and annual salary of 300,000 or more.”

Beside him, an older woman sneers: “Then what are your son’s qualifications?”

The old man lifts his chest: “My son has an undergraduate degree from Fudan, is a returnee who studied at a top U.S. school, and now works in investment banking.”

The older woman says: “If he can’t find a partner himself, then he needs you to come here?”

The old man is left stunned.
