%X Gender imbalance has already become a serious social problem in China. Meanwhile, a different mismatch of single men and women of marriageable age is present in large and mid-sized cities. Urban ¡°leftover women¡± is categorized into ¡°active¡± and ¡°passive¡± types. Factors resulting in the two types are different, including level of education, concepts of love and marriage, age, types of occupation and so on.
