A woman in southern China who was being pressured by her family to marry has been defended by her nephew, leaving relatives speechless.

On February 19, the 26-year-old woman from Zhanjiang, Guangdong province, known online as “I Have a Nephew (Boasting Edition)”, shared a viral video.

The clip showed a family gathering during Chinese New Year, where she was introduced to a man in his 30s and urged to marry.

Caught off guard, the woman was immediately defended by her six-year-old nephew.

“Whether to marry or not is my aunt’s choice, and she only wants a man with eight-pack abs,” the boy declared.
