How to Find a Date in a Country With Over 30 Million Extra Men video New York Times Opinion / The New York Times Op-Docs 5 December 2025
Film and text by Violet Du Feng:
In America, romance and sex — or the lack thereof — have become preoccupations for millions of people struggling with intimacy.
“Are young people having enough sex?” The New Yorker asked this year.
In China, the situation is even more pressing. Its one-child policy left it with over 30 million more men than women.
These men confront a smaller dating pool, and it’s even harder for working-class and rural men to find a partner.
In my feature-length documentary “The Dating Game” I follow a group of young single men as they complete a weeklong dating camp.
In “Only the Lonely,” the short film adaptation above, I captured something else: the stakes of lonely young men struggling to find love across the world. “I’ve been alone since I was little,” Wu, a young delivery driver, told me.
“The feeling of loneliness,” he added, “it’s been the same my whole life. The only difference is I’ve learned to feel numb to it.” But at night,
he continued, “the feeling comes back strong. It never disappears.” YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UjDPE2Dbjc

China Doesn't Like That I'm a Single Woman, Here's Why NYT 13 February 2020
China Doesn't Like That I'm a Single Woman, Here's Why Video Op-Docs NYT 13 February 2020
“Sheng nu” (“leftover women”) is a term used to describe single women who are 27 or older in China.
Most of these women live in cities and lead rewarding professional lives.
The term was coined in 2007 by a government organization responsible for the protection and promotion of women’s rights and policies.
That same year, the Ministry of Education added “sheng nu” to the official lexicon.
In this Op-Doc, based on the Independent Lens feature documentary “Leftover Women,” we follow one of those women — Qiu Huamei, contending with the stigma and social pressure forcing her to go on a grueling quest in search of a husband.
She grew up in a small village five hours south of Beijing and is the second youngest of five sisters.
Ms. Qiu is a successful lawyer, fluent in English and opinionated — but those qualities do not outweigh one key flaw: She is not married.

If It Were My Home
The headlines tell a lot about the crisis in Yemen: internal strife, evacuations of international aid workers, Saudi Arabian airstrikes.
But you may have one very basic question that you can't easily find an answer for: How big is Yemen, anyway?
You can look at maps and check out Wikipedia but wouldn't it be great to just to slap an outline of Yemen on top of a map of the United States to get a sense of its size?
IfItWereMyHome.com lets you do just that.
