To Barry,
The opinion "A girl blossoms at 20s or even younger but soon takes a bad turn after 25 or 30" is widely accepted by the people in my living place but not including me.
Why do they worry about a girl's age? Let me try to analyse it,
1. They think that a girl's look, skin, shape and fertility peaks at 20s and after that the physical conditions start to decline, which are important for a man to choose his wife according the evolutionary psychology.
2. Girls here tend to get marry before 30 or earlier. This is an invisible pressure for all the marriageable girls and their parents.
That's all I know about it.
I don't know if it's appropriate to use the word "big boy", which I mean to refer to a man whose mindset is still quite young but not naive. Thanks for reading this.

When 市 follows a city name, for example, 广州市、惠州市， it can be translated to "city", a noun,the city of Guangzhou, the city of Huizhou. 2. 市 refers to "the market or fair", a noun,市场, 市场营销, 菜市场, 水果市场, 超级市场. It means the places or circumstances where buys and sells happen. 3. 市 refers to "buy or sell", a verb, 千金市马. And there may be more to be added.0 votedMay 25, 20160
I live in a southern town of China. For I barely know the circumstances of othe cities or provinces in China, here's only my private observation and opinion of my iving place.
我住在中国南方一个小城镇。因为我对其他省市的情况不甚了解，我仅谈谈对我居住地的一些个人的观察和观点。
Usually, marriage is a must for most people and having a child or more (especially boys) is an important mission of filial pieties. This is a traditional or even conservative mind roots in people here. What's more, it is widely accepted here that a girl blossoms at 20s or even younger but soon takes a bad turn after 25 or 30. Hereby, if a girl keeps single after 25 or 30, her parents must be worried about the daughter's rest life （IT WILL BE HARDER AND HARDER FOR HER TO GET MARRY AND SHE MAY LEAD A SINGLE AND LONELY AGED LIFE).
通常，婚姻对大多数人是必需品，而生一个以上的孩子（尤其男孩）是孝道里面很重要的使命。这是根植于本地居民的传统观念甚至可以说保守观念。而且，大家普遍认为一个女孩子在20来岁时犹如鲜花绽放一般，但一旦过了25岁或30岁就马上走下坡路了。因而，如果一个女孩子到了25岁或者30岁还单身未嫁，她的父母就会担心女儿的下半生（年纪越大越不好嫁，孤独终老）。
Personally, I don't think marriage is a must, I respect the traditional thinking of others but I stick to my own life style. BTW, I'm a single big boy who is 29.
个人来说，我不认为婚姻是生活中必不可少的。我尊重其他人的传统观念，但我也坚持自己的生活方式。

Só quero saber o teu número telefonico, dar lhe uma chamada, e re-ouvir a tua voz. Mas não sei que o que devo falar. If the end of world really came, what will you talk with me? I don't fear death. I just want to know your telephone number, give you a call, and re-listen to your voice. But I don't know what I should say. 假如世界末日真要来临，你会对我说些什么？我不害怕死亡，只想知道你的号码，给你打一通电话，再听听你的声音。不过，我都不知道该和你说些什么。December 13, 201240
- Sinto Falta do Pastel de Nata Sinto falta do pastel de nata de Macau. Mas atualmente acho o sabor dele é quase igual ao quê fabricado nas pastelarias de minha cidade. Só gosto do sentimento quando comia em Macau. I miss the Portuguese egg tart of Macau. But actually I think the flavour is almost the same with that made in the cake shops of my city. I just like the feeling when I was eating in Macau.December 8, 201242
