PLOT
Eldest child Jiang Da Yan, 33, is a schoolteacher living in a middle-income family with her doting 80-year-old grandmother, her father and forensic pathologist mother. Ever since her younger sister and brother marry, she is pressured to get herself married since, at 33, is now considered a "leftover woman" by Chinese standards. Da Yan gives in to her parents’ wishes and goes for countless (unsuccessful) matchmaking sessions, even appearing on a TV matchmaking program. Her grandmother gives her a one-year ultimatum to get married, even though Da Yan feels personally it is impossible to rush romance or marriage.
