It's so much easier to have a girl though. You just hope she becomes nice and pretty. While if you get a boy, you have to make sure he is smart, earns a lot of money, otherwise he will never be able to provide a girl. In china it's much harder for the family to have a boy. / Shopgirl's Shanghai www.metrobloggen.se/shopgirl

"At other schools I don’t know, but at Zhejiang University all the beautiful, excellent girls are taken by foreigners." Really, now, ALL of the beautiful, excellent girls are taken by foreigners at Zhejiang University? Are there that many foreigners at Zhejiang University? Or is it that there are simply a lot of ugly cows and only a handful of slender sows?

This has the potential to create huge, huge social problems not only here in China, but worldwide. I highly recommend Valerie Hudson and Andrea den Boer's Bare Branches: The Security Implications of Asia’s Surplus Male Population.
