What’s inside the Shanghai Marriage Market (ft. foreign friend searching for love) 

Comment below what interesting social issue / phenomenon you see from China or other countries! I want all of us to learn and spread new perspectives instead of speaking from cultural stereotypes. If you share this video to other friends/family who might be curious about China, I would also appreciate! 🎉

Ali is Punching the Air

Hi Miranda! it was worth watching to know unique culture that exist we were unaware of. Anyway nice vlog and keep going.

Such an eye opening video and wholesome video!🥰🥰 Well done Miranda! I've no idea the market existed, even though I visited Shanghai back in 2017. 😅😅 Keep up the good work, Miranda! You're an awesome vlogger with lots of potential! 加油！

great vid

Bruna Miniquelli is very famous in Brazilian China, she is the presenter of Chinese products 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 on the orange app known here in Brazil

Nice job getting the video footage even though the "sellers" didn't want their wares advertised! LOL 🙂

Welcome to the marriage market where relationship is a business proposal.

Thank you Miranda for sharing this unique experience. I could tell in your video that many gave you uncomfortable stares because you were filming. So I live in the U.S. In Michigan. I'm 70 years old, not working (basically living off of my social security and a small pension) and have an apartment. I was married for 34 years, we opted not to have children and unfortunately she passed away almost 2 years ago from illness. It has been such a strange life for me ever since. In a sense trying to rediscover who I am without her. I have friends from India living in the U.S. where family is very important to them and they seem very happy. In my neighborhood it is an interesting mix of people. Mostly keeping to themselves, mothers with children but no husband, women who are single living a "party/have fun" lifestyle, children living with grandparents. So curious. I really like you as a person. And appreciate what you try to share. Very different from my perspective. Stay blessed my friend. May you find that which you seek and may Joy find you.🤗❤

I'd be fascinated to see what happens when someone uses the agency to find a suitor for their son or daughter. Imagine bringing the suitor home and introducing them with, "This is who I picked out for you." The reactions would surely be interesting. I'm curious if it's usually the parents who hire the agency to find a match for their child or if the individuals themselves are the ones looking. Thank you for the video; interesting look on marriage in different parts of the world.

New subscriber here from the Philippines 🇵🇭 after watching Ali's vlog. You and Ali look good together you're like future husband and wife material. Looking forward to your second date. GBU and take care always!

In the US it's more like a faint glimmer of hope for grandchildren. I will say that there are MANY cultures here in the US and many of them value family above all else, so perhaps pockets of "guess who you're marrying!" do exist.

4th content out! No pressure Miranda but looking forward to the next 1000 vlogs.😛

My two favorite people!! I want to tour the marriage market with you too (or maybe we can join hahhaa) 😂

Miranda is like the perfect girl. She doesn't seem like a materialistic person. She is living the simple life.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

You are so lovely Miranda ❤

🥰🥰

A lovely girl ❤

Me and my friend passed that marriage market in people’s park recently… two old guys were shouting to us trying to get our attention and one young dude even aproached us asking my friend to be his gf 😂

Succesful in Marriage Market is my next goal after my import investment from China to Latin America ^^

Bummer, i was waiting to see if you would be surprised to see your parents in the marriage market. That would've made a hell of a content 😂😂😂

What do you recommend for a foreigner from Europe who wants to find a girlfriend in/from China? Thanks

Your so beautiful 😻

I was there for a summer internship in 2015, unless you are a chad or very wealthy, finding a wife in Shanghai is hard, the fertility rate in Shanghai is lower than South Korea.

Subscribe 👍❤

If I had to ask someone to go on date with me, I would just ask Miranda. Why should family get involved? 😀

That pressure even exist if asians go abroad. Keep in mind that you are marrying a family not an independent person.

Chinese girls are easy if you're foreigner -- especially if you're white. My friend taught English there for a few years and he said he hooked up with over 100+ girls. Sometimes 2 girls a day lol

MIRANDA have u forgot about ali

啊啊啊，那个老毕等太坏了，故意毁坏您的财物，气得我跺脚脚，我们上海人真没有这样的

“Local” yet you have an American accent. Lol…

Ummmmm………Japanese women #1! Chinese women……no comment.
