With the 30 deadline fast approaching, Meimei has decided to take fate into her own hands and pay large sums to a professional matchmaker, who has promised to introduce her to hundreds of suitable men.

30岁期限即将到来，美美已经决定要掌握自己的命运，支付大笔金钱给职业媒人，那个已答应给她介绍数百个合适男人的人。

Dating in China involves a minefield of complex requirements. According to Meimei, men are supposed to be Gao Fu Shuai - tall, rich and handsome - while women should be Bai Fu Mei - white, rich and beautiful. Men have the added responsibility of securing a car, a house and a promotion by the time they reach their fourth decade if they are to have any hope of finding a wife.

在中国约会涉及到复杂需求的雷区。根据梅梅，男人应该成为高富帅——个高、富有、英俊，而女性则应该成为白富美——肤白、富有和美丽。男人还有额外的责任来保证一辆车、一栋房子以及当他们到40岁时的一场晋升如果他们想有任何找到妻子的希望。

"Everyone says Shanghai women are so superficial," she sniffs. "But I don't mind at all if my future husband doesn't have a car. Or a house. As long as, you know, he was going to buy one at some point."

“每个人都说上海女性是如此肤浅，”她鄙视地说。“但我一点都不介意如果我未来的丈夫没有车。或一栋房子。只要，你知道，他将在某个时间段能买上。”
