Beijing: In a case of life imitating reality television, Jiao Jiao, a 20-year-old woman has launched a national song-and-dance competition and for the top prize she has offered her hand in marriage.
Not only will one get to marry the woman, he will also receive $12,300, a diamond ring and a chance to sign a contract with a record company.
Tryouts begin next month in five Chinese cities and the winner will be selected by professional dancers and the audience at a final competition in the southwestern city of Chengdu.
When asked how love would blossom between the two, the lady's agent replied that it can be nurtured slowly.
But as in all good reality television shows, there is a sub-plot full of alleged ulterior motives and manipulation.
In hopes of getting their daughter famous, Jiao Jiao's parents have partly financed the scheme.
This week, a Shanghai cartoon company has expressed interest in hiring Jiao Jiao to sing the theme song in one of its animated films.
