Chinese content creator and language teacher Linglong Chen recently went viral for speaking up about the social stigma that comes with being a 35-year-old unmarried woman.
The teacher told her 300,000 followers that her mother had gone as far as to try to set her up with a man over 50.
While Chen was well aware of how Chinese culture often frowns upon women who remain unmarried beyond their late twenties, to the point that they are labeled “leftover women,” she simply did not expect the same treatment from her parents, and it broke her heart.
