Finding a wife at the marriage market 🇨🇳
The first approach ends quickly. An older man waves Harry Jaggard away, and Harry supplies the dating-app translation: "He swiped left."
Harry is visiting Shanghai's marriage market, where parents and grandparents gather to find spouses for their children. Rather than simply explaining the custom, he asks his companion Jim to help him find a suitable wife. Jim's response is a question: "Are you serious?"
The Short, titled "Finding a wife at the marriage market 🇨🇳", reached roughly 54,000 views in 23 hours. That's already far beyond the roughly 2,600 views a Short on Harry Jaggard Vlogs usually receives on its first day.
The encounters are brief and not especially promising for Harry. A conversation with a young woman in a pink coat brings a quick refusal in English and laughter from the group. Then a friendlier exchange with a man in a blue jacket reveals that not everyone has come on someone else's behalf: he is looking for a wife for himself.
