Zhou Yupei, 87, shows off the gold ring worn by his wife Hu Shaomei, 86, yesterday after
60 years of marriage at a festival organized by Donghua University for 134 couples
celebrating their golden weddings and 32 celebrating their diamond weddings.
MORE than 160 couples celebrated their golden and diamond weddings yesterday at Donghua
University, as part of festivities for Chongyang Festival, honoring senior citizens,
which falls tomorrow.
Garlanded with red flowers, 134 couples celebrating 50 years of marriage walked hand-in-
hand into the campus stadium, along with 32 couples celebrating their 60th, or diamond,
wedding anniversaries.
At least one of each couple used to work at the university, bringing back happy memories
for many.
Zhao Yuliang, an 81-year-old Donghua official, was celebrating his diamond wedding
anniversary yesterday, getting married in 1948.
"Our family has no special plans to celebrate (the wedding anniversary), so we were
really very glad to attend such a group activity," said Zhao.
Each couple was presented with a framed commemorative photograph and snack coupons to
celebrate the festival.
