About

In China's big cities, parents gather in parks every weekend carrying A4 sheets describing their children — age, height, education, job, income, housing, and what they hope for in a partner. This is the "matchmaking corner" (相亲角). The most famous one, in Shanghai's People's Park, formed spontaneously in 2004 and is now the world's largest traditional matchmaking gathering.

But the tradition behind it is far older. "Parents' orders, matchmaker's words" — marriages arranged by families and matchmakers go back centuries in China. Marriage was never just about two people; it is the joining of two families.

Marriage Wall brings this tradition online: the same A4 sheets, the same seriousness, the same family involvement — but safer, more transparent, and reaching far beyond one park.
