More than half of taxi passengers in major cities in China picture themselves getting married before the age of 29, according to a survey by Touchmedia, a major in-taxi media company in China.
The survey, the results of which were timed with Chinese Valentine's Day, polled 1.59 million taxi passengers in five cities, including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou over the past month.
When it comes to a "naked marriage", meaning getting married without a house and car, 45 percent of those polled "approve of the idea", but less than 30 percent would "practice a naked marriage".
More than 70 percent of the interviewees said they are ready to share their mortgage payments with their spouse after marriage.
