Secrets of China

Desperate for Love

Duration: 50 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC WORLD NEWS EuropeLatest broadcast: on BBC WORLD NEWS Asia Pacific

In the second episode of this three-part series, Billie JD Porter plunges into the competitive world of Chinese love - where marriage markets, dating boot camps and even plastic surgery are used to increase marriage potential. In China, if you're not married by your late twenties you are branded a 'leftover'. Billie tracks down a new generation of Chinese women who are resisting the pressure to marry young and experiences the extremes of China's marriage obsession, from underwater wedding photography to group ceremonies on a paradise island.
