    In Chinese society what is a "bare branch" and what does it mean?

    Question #53959. Asked by wroot. (Jan 12 05 11:35 AM)

    		They are young men who will probably not marry and raise families of their own, as the tendency over the years to prefer boy babies has led to an alarming rate of female infanticide, and so there will soon not be enough women to go around. These young men are called guang gun-er or bare branches.
