1.35-meter (4.43 feet) Yao Jie and 1.75-meter (5.74 feet) Qi Xiaoming during their wedding, 11 years after they got married, in Xi'an, northwestern China's Shaanxi province, Monday, April 2, 2007. [Photo: Xinhua] The couple, both in their 30s now, hastily tied the knot in 1996 amid opposition from both families.
Unfortunately, Yao Jie was diagnosed with uremia in 2002. The couple also used up all their savings for her treatment.
Despite their misfortune, Yao Jie still dreamt of holding a proper wedding ceremony. Monday's ceremony was arranged by volunteers from throughout the city. 1 2 3 |
