Editor's note: The term shengnu - directly translated as "leftover women" - was coined to refer to white-collar females who remain unwed by their late 20s. There has been a great deal of hype in China about shengnu. Our forum readers offer their perspectives. You are welcome to join us for discussions if you're interested in the topic.
