Wedding in white? No, in red! At this mass ceremony in the western Chinese city of Zhongyi, dozens of couples got married at the same time. Incidentally, the occasion for the traditional ritual was not only one of the Chinese Valentine’s Days, because the date 5/20 (wǔ èr líng) sounds remotely like „I love you“ in Mandarin, but also World Bee Day, which falls on May 20. The region produces honey.
