If you are not familiar with the term "leftover", it means a man over 34 or a woman over 32 who is not yet married & it has a slightly negative connotation.

For a great definition and explanation of 剩女 shèng nǚ  (+ venn diagrams!) read Shanghai shanghaishiok's blog post below:

My Chinese teacher draws Venn diagrams to explain why she is still single

Of course any date that involves so many of the same number implies there will be a rash of marriages also.

What do you think of single's day?  Can anyone add some relevant vocabulary and/or more information on the holiday?  Especially 中国人?
