It's all material
Casting around for a subject for your next novel set in the near future? Look no farther than this BBC News article: Wifeless future for China's men: "There are more than a hundred men aged between 18 to 40 who are unmarried in our village," he says. "Nearby villages are all like us. How can we get married? I don't know what to do or where to start finding a wife. I'm stuck -- unless God can help me."
The brothers eat lunch by themselves.
Outside the village shop, men and teenagers hang about.
They keep an eye on the main road -- in case any eligible women wander by. But the road is empty.
In years to come, for the single men of China, things will only get worse.
