Love gets a lift from the youth league

Too busy working, with few chances to find a date? Single people in Zhejiang province in East China can embrace more chances to find love, starting in June, after the provincial youth league set up a department to serve them.

"The new department will build a database with records on the singletons, and set up some groups to organize regular mass dating parties to provide more chances for them to find their love," Wang Jun, official in charge of such services at the Zhejiang provincial branch of China's Communist Youth League, said on Friday.

"What we do is serve them to cater to their growing demand, and it's not an administrative order to force them to participate," he added.
