As couples set out Monday to celebrate Valentine's Day with movies and candle-lit dinners, some people have decided to commemorate the day with a different touch - booking all one-bed hotel rooms, buying off all movie tickets and even slapping other people's boyfriend's faces。
"We should all go out together on Valentine's Day and slap any couple who come along, and then yell to the guy, 'Don't you tell me it's your sister again!'"
“情人节那天我们组团出去，见情侣就打男的一巴掌，大声吼：‘你别告诉我，这又是你妹妹！’”
Their extreme measures may be a light joke, but observers point out that the growing anti-Valentine's Day sentiment also sheds light on the increasing phenomenon of "leftover" men and women。
According to a report, 54.3 percent of men and 45.7 percent of women of over 160,000 people survey nationwide belong to the "leftover" category. The All-China Women's Federation used to identify men above 30 as "leftover" and women above 27.
