New Beijing, New Marriage

Popo Fan • 2009

On February 14th, 2009, Valentine's Day, two couples were going to get married on this day. From the early preparation for wedding photos, everyone had been brimming with happy smiles, and the humorous and relaxed atmosphere had made people feel the sweetness of two couples. They came to Qianmen Street that day and the bustling passers-by cast curious eyes toward them. With the two couples posing intimately, people around them showed different views on homosexuality. The voice of incomprehension and disapproval filled the ears. Such special scenery appeared on Qianmen Street, which tested people's tolerance and understanding of homosexuality. “We hope to receive your blessing.” Behind the sentence, how much helplessness and hesitation there was. Being born as a human being, keep respect and tolerance, and equally treat the love which shouldn’t have had boundaries.
