Tsai Chuan-ming, who's had exhortations dinned into him as the family's eldest grandson by older relatives from all quarters ever since he turned 30, says with exasperation, "The singles ratio may be one in three, but if you throw in their friends and relatives, I'll bet 99 percent of the adult population is worried about when they or someone else is going to get married."
身為長孫，卅甫過就常受四方長輩耳提面命的蔡傳明，便很「受用不起」地說：「單身人數佔成人的三分之一，然而包括他們的長輩、朋友，我猜百分之九十九的成人都在替自己或別人操心婚姻大事。」
