Asia Insight - Season 5 Episode 5 The Marriage Problem among China's Only Children
Within the bustling activity and prosperous economy of Beijing, China's young men are facing a new challenge: solitude. Men born during the "one-child policy" have been raised with such singular attention that they find themselves lacking understanding of the female heart, and unable to find a spouse.

In this episode, we take a look at the hurdles faced by China's generation of only children when facing marriage.
