dc.description.abstractBroadcast Transcript: The NCAA may have its Final Four, but here in Wuhan there is the Final Five. In an ironic twist on the one-child, son-preferred policy, a retired professional couple has taken out a newspaper ad seeking a daughter. You see, Tian Zhendong and Ding Shuhui's son moved to Canada with his wife and, though he calls every week, he's not coming home and they're not moving there. Faced with the prospect of no one to care for them in their old age, the couple took out the ad. Over 100 girls applied for the position and the winner--who will be given an apartment if she gets through the 3-year trial period--will be chosen from the Final Five. Bracketologists: get out your pencils. #ceas #china #tsutsui #vonholten
