    Shopping meets dating on 11.11

    It’s Nov 11 again. The “double 11” day has been celebrated as guang gun jie (Singles Day) in China since it started on campuses in the 1990s. In recent years, business-savvy Chinese e-retailers have successfully turned Singles Day into the world's biggest online shopping spree.

    But behind the astronomical profits of e-commerce giants, there is another number that should not be ignored. There are 249 million single people in our country - accounting for one-fifth of the total population, passively waiting or desperately looking for love.
