I live in Shanghai. Families don't arrange marriage, but they'll introduce/approve a mate, and if your family disapproves a mate, the relationship is over. Important thing for a man is to have 2 keys; 1) key to a house (own an apartment) 2) Key to a car.  Important thing for a woman; look hot, be sweet/charming, cook/clean. Some chicks are professionals but mostly they just wanna get married and have babies.
