A newlywed couple display their marriage registration certificates while holding a banner reading “Today We Get Married” at the Futian Marriage Registration Office in Honey Park yesterday. May 20 is often associated with romantic gestures in China due to its phonetic similarity to “I love you” in Mandarin. Yesterday saw a total of 1,851 couples register their marriage in Shenzhen, the highest in a single day in the past five years, according to the local civil affairs bureau. In 2023, Shenzhen was the city with the highest number of marriage registrations in Guangdong Province, with 137,000 couples tying the knot.   (Story on P3 and more photos on P4)       Zhang Yu
