On February 22, a report released by Internet portal Sina made waves among China’s youth. A post on Sina Weibo, China’s Twitter, attracted heated discussion: “According to relevant regulations, the first marriage of males aged 25 or older and females aged 23 or older are considered ‘late marriages.’ A bit of simple math shows that 2013 is the first year that some post-80’s (those born in 1980 or later) are turning 33, and the first year that some post-90’s (those born in 1990 or later) are of ‘late marriage’ age.” Over 400,000 web users discussed the topic on Weibo, and with print media covering it as well, the subject of “late marriage” has generated discussion on a variety of issues related to marriage, age, and gender roles in China.
