From Chinese flock to "Cinderella" ball for monetary bliss by James Pomfret:
Thousands of Chinese women are vying to attend a lavish ball in the southern boomtown of Shenzhen, lured by the dream of a possible fairytale match with a millionaire.
More than 7,000 women from all over the country are applying for one of just 40 tickets to attend China's version of Cinderella's ball, where several multi-millionaires will pay around $5,400 for the privilege of meeting them, the organiser of the event told Reuters.

"There are more and more single women in China nowadays who just want to find a good man. And if this man has money, that's much better."
