From Chinaren's blog page: This week a mass wedding for women on the heavier side was held in Guangzhou, in the beautiful setting of the Pearl River's side. The blushing brides had been recruited from applicants from all over China who wanted to join in the ceremony. The weight requirement for those who wanted to join stipulated that the bride had to weigh at least 150 jin, (about 163 pounds, or as the rest of the world would say: 75 kilos).
The newlyweds said that they had participated in the ceremony to show support for overweight people and help them to get higher self esteem. They also said that being overweight does not make it harder to find love.
We think these curvy girls are supercool. And at least some netizens agree with us, comments from the blog:
"May they be happy!
"That's sad"
"The poor little husbands, how will they manage?"
"What will they do when the husbands are crushed to death?"
"They're very cute, I wish them well!"
"We should wish them well, everyone has the right to pursue a happy life"
