- As China struggles to keep marriage rates up, Chinese people are starting to take aim at superstition.
- A letter urging the government to speak out against folk beliefs went viral on Wednesday.
- It warned officials of the "Year of the Widow," a belief that getting wed this year brings bad luck.
China is debating whether the government should warn against against superstitions that say 2024 is a bad year to marry, as the country frets over its declining and aging population.
