Once upon a time… China’s Internet users reacted creatively to Nancy Pelosi’s Taiwan visit by merging an old yearbook photo of the US politician with a military photo of Hu Xijin, former editor-in-chief of the Global Times.

The fictional wedding picture went viral in several versions – sometimes yellowed and in sepia colors, sometimes dragged through the pastel blur, as known from old Mao Zedong photographs.
