Interesting tradition. Very recently I rode on a bus in Beijing and I had a conversation with a young professional man about this very topic. He said he and many friends are not planning on ever marrying for this very reason. He went through the whole traditional way and then listed all the folks that would likely be depending on him. It is a lot of people for 1 or 2 to take on. Urban China is very much a consumer economy and all the toys that go with it don't fit in with the old ways.
