Wang Guiying is 107 and has never been married. Wang Guiying lives in China. Wang Guiying did not marry when younger because she was afraid of marriage. Wang Guiying said she saw her uncles and men bully women in the patriarchal world of male dominance. Wang lived as a farmer when her parents and elder sister died.

When Wang was 74 and no longer capable of doing farm work, Wang lived with her nephew. Now that her nephews and nieces are getting along in their twilight years, Wang is guilt ridden at being a burden to them.

Local authorities in Wang Guiying’s village are searching for a suitable groom for her.

Is it safe to assume that an unmarried spinster is a virgin bride? The Beijing report did not state virginity and spinsterhood in one breath.
