A bride and a groom, each holding a cup of nuptial wine, cross their cup-holding arms and drink from their cups, a symbol for a you-in-me-and-me-in-you kind of love between husband and wife, during a group wedding in Xi’an, capital of Northwest China’s Shaanxi Province, yesterday. The wedding was held for 50 pairs of couples who joined the COVID-19 fight, including medics, civil servants, police officers and community workers. The number 520 has a similar pronunciation to “I love you” in Chinese, hence its auspiciousness. Marriage registrations across China spike May 20 every year.Xinhua |
