<FONT face=Courier color=#000000 size=2><P>Thousands to gather in search of soulmates</P>
<P>Nation’s largest match-making event for young professionals set for</P>
<P>Shanghai</P>
<P>ELAINE WU in Beijing</P>
<P>About 8,000 single men and women will gather in a Shanghai park next month</P>
<P>in the country’s largest match-making event.</P>
<P>Young professionals, from teachers to lawyers to engineers, will have five</P>
<P>hours to try to meet their soulmates through a dinner and games organised</P>
<P>by the China Association of Social Workers’ match-making service committee.</P>
<P>Committee director-general Wang Weiming said the aim of the event was to</P>
<P>give singles an opportunity to meet as many prospective dates as possible.</P>
<P>"The response so far has been very good because a large event such as this</P>
<P>makes it very convenient for white-collar people to meet," he said.</P>
<P>"Our plan is to hold this event once a year."</P>
<P>About 3,000 people have applied to join the event since the 15</P>
<P>participating match-making companies began selling tickets through singles</P>
<P>clubs and similar organisations two weeks ago. Some singles clubs from</P>
<P>Japan and Korea also plan to join the event.</P>
<P>Most applicants, about 65 per cent so far, are women. Mr Wang said the goal</P>
<P>was to bring the ratio of men to women ratio down to 4:6.</P>
<P>One reason more women were signing up was that they were eager to get</P>
<P>married after reaching a certain age, said Wang Xiaoying, manager of</P>
<P>Shanghai Yuan Yang Yuan Marriage Introduction Company.</P>
<P>Some of those who had called up for tickets were parents who wanted to go</P>
<P>to the event with their daughters to find a son-in-law, she said.</P>
<P>"Men are not in a rush. They think their careers are more important," Ms</P>
<P>Wang said. "If a guy is successful at age 30 or 40, he can still find a</P>
<P>woman in her 20s. But it’s more difficult for women to do the same."</P>
<P>Ms Wang said her company started catering to white-collar workers five</P>
<P>years ago because they usually had a busy work schedule and a small social</P>
<P>circle. Most of them were the only child in the family, which meant they</P>
<P>could not meet dates through their siblings’ friends or classmates.</P>
<P>The 100 yuan entry ticket includes a dinner and a booklet that contains a</P>
<P>short description of all the singles, including their education, jobs, age,</P>
<P>height and contact information, among other things.</P>
<P>Mr Wang said the booklet was the key to the event because singles could</P>
<P>contact somebody they were interested in later on.</P>
<P>There would be cupids working the floor to help with the match-making</P>
<P>process. If someone is too shy to approach a potential mate, they will be</P>
<P>able to ask the helper to deliver a message for them.</P>
<P>To join, applicants must be at least 20 years old but not more than 40 for</P>
<P>women and 45 for men. They must have a tertiary education and prove they</P>
<P>are not married.</P>
<P>The event will be held in Shanghai’s Zhongshan Park on October 22 from 4pm</P>
<P>to 9pm.</P>
