Having children—for Chinese people, especially the older, more traditional generation—is the number one priority in life.
Continuing the family line and passing down the bloodline, to traditional Chinese, is more important than almost anything else.
The less affluent and more underdeveloped the region, the more serious this issue is taken. A person can be poor, but they must leave a root behind for their ancestors. In some places, this belief is ingrained deeply into the local consciousness.
Even if it means resorting to stealing, abducting, or deceiving someone, they'll find a way to bring back a woman to have a child. If there's really no other option, they'll even adopt a child to ensure the family's lineage continues.
