Most of them are from Shanghai, Fujian or Guandong and they settled down in South-east Asia. They married a local girl and raise a family. And even send some money home to their parents in China. I believe the situation have changed. Nowadays it seems that the ladies are venturing overseas. They marry a foreigner, settled down overseas and also raise a family. Seems like this trend will continue for some time yet.

Sexual equality & independence call for women to help contribute to family & to be economicaly independent. It is easier for women to find husbands & jobs overseas ? Depending on how fast China's economic progress moves, this trend would slow down/stop.
