The Diary of Li Xin Li Xin likes to drink jasmine tea in the summer. She bought a jasmine plant last year, but it died during the winter. It grows well in the summer, but it is very sensitive to cold weather. She bought it from southern China, where the climate is much warmer. Li Xin has noticed that more and more people are starting YouTube channels to share their daily lives. Many of them are unemployed. Some women, especially those in their thirties, explain that they are single, have no children, and have never married. They also talk about being labelled as "leftover women" by society. Their parents often tell them that they should get married because they care about their future and worry about them. However, not everyone wants to get married or start a family. Some people prefer to focus on their careers, personal goals, or a different lifestyle. Others choose a religious life, such as becoming nuns, which is also a valid way of living. Some parents encourage their children to get married because they hope someone will take care of them when they become elderly. On the other hand, some parents may prefer their children to remain single so that they will always be available to care for them. In many cases, parents are simply worried that their sons or daughters will become lonely as they grow older.
