Abstract

China is dominated by collectivist culture, which means a person is independent only when building a complete family by getting married and having a baby. However, the phenomenon of late marriage shows a disparity from traditional norms. Chinese parents often serve as defenders of traditional norms and intervene in their children's love and marriage.
