| Single women over 27 y/o in China are "leftovers" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-21320560 Over 27? Unmarried? Female? In China, you could be labelled a "leftover woman" by the state - but some professional Chinese women these days are happy being single. Huang Yuanyuan is working late at her job in a Beijing radio newsroom. She's also stressing out about the fact that the next day, she'll turn 29. "Scary. I'm one year older," she says. "I'm nervous." Why? "Because I'm still single. I have no boyfriend. I'm under big pressure to get married." Huang is a confident, personable young woman with a good salary, her own apartment, an MA from one of China's top universities, and a wealth of friends. Still, she knows that these days, single, urban, educated women like her in China are called "sheng nu" or "leftover women" - and it stings.

| When warmed up, some leftovers are very tasty.

| Wouldn't think there would be any leftovers due to the Chinese propensity of drowning baby girls because they can only have one kid and want it to be a boy.
