"Even in Beijing, I can't escape being pressured into marriage. It's more traditional in the countryside, so being pushed to marry is even more normal there. If you work hard, buying a house in Beijing shouldn't be a problem."

Even in searching for a partner, they have to own a house in Beijing.
That narrows it down a lot, bringing at least some tranquility.
