The freelance photographer shared that he had already received dozens of takers.
"After I posted the video, I woke up to all these people messaging me to say they were interested and whether I was available. Some said they were not in town this year and [asked] if I could save the date for them next Chinese New Year," he said. (Insider)
Although the single young man shared that he didn't take any of the offers, he's delighted that people got to laugh a little and have some fun about the pressures from family.
Definitely a cool idea, clearly there's a market for this...
