@Hkchinese888 In rural China, people judge your family if you haven't owned a car yet these days, because families around you all have cars. Many Chinese farmers just bought cars and parked at their house gates without driving much a month due to the lack of needs to travel far often, as they say in the Chinese countryside, "you can park there and don't drive but you must have it!" People don't like to be judged by their neighbours, you know.
You can call this mindset as shallow, superficial or materialistic but China is a country of capitalistic materialism, and as a man, young or old, if you haven't bought a house and a car in the cities, no girls will be interersted in you in the marriage market in China, and this "new marriage culture" has been around in China for at least 15 years now, it's not a latest phenomenon only.
Sometimes you have to say China is too much of a capitalism, everything is valued by money and transactions. Communism is long dead. But materialism actually propels the Chinese economy forward as it stimulates domestic spending and consumption.
