The one that drives me mad every time I'm in China is a series of questions that I get asked regularly.
Where is your wife?
Why don't you marry?
Why don't you have any kids?
Do you want a wife?
Sometimes I just want to scream, so I explain patiently why I am not married and then people look dumbfounded at me and don't know what to say.
