The impending marriage of two old men in Beijing has caused quite a stir online, the Guangzhou Daily reported.
The gay couple, identified as "big treasure" and "small treasure," broke the news online yesterday and asked for other people's blessing. They also posted photos on their Weibo microblog, showing them hugging, one wearing a white wedding gown。
Their announcement soon captured many people's attention and drew different reactions。
The two old men said they met and fell in love in Beijing. One is a retired teacher. The other is a bottled water deliveryman from the rural area. Despite their differences in education and occupation, they are determined to live together。
Some Weibo users could not understand their relationship and questioned their motives. But the couple said it is true love that binds them. Some doubted their high-profile marriage announcement, but they respected their decision。
The two men already encountered problems with their families and friends who rejected their relationship. One man's child is no longer speaking to him, according to the paper。
The gay couple plans to hold a wedding in a few days. Though unable to get a marriage certificate from the government, they hoped well-wishers would come to witness and bless their union, the paper said。
China still bans homosexual marriage。
来自北京市平谷区的一对老先生要结婚了,因为他们之间产生了真挚的爱情!他们的微博“两个老头的爱情”发布这个消息后,马上引起了高度的关注,有人不理解,有人表示祝福。但是这对老先生不仅在微博上大晒恩爱,更表示马上就会举行婚礼。
微博上两老头亲吻显恩爱
这两位老先生相爱后,还在微博上晒起了两人之间的感情,并且希望网友们都能祝福他们。
在两位当事人上传到网上的照片中,其中一张,一人光着上身,拥抱着另一人,还用手捧着对方的脸部,头部相贴,显得非常温情。而另外一张照片里,一人穿着洁白的婚纱,搂着另外一人的手臂,如同新娘挽着新郎一般。
两人的微博头像,也是亲吻的照片,而在微博简介中,则写着:“祝福我们吧,广大网友。”但是,两人并没有对外公布真实姓名,只是以“大宝”“小宝”自称。
退休教师和送水工的爱情
据他们介绍,两人的相爱源自其中身为送水工的一方,长期为另一方送饮用水,在相处中日久生情。
“我是一个普通的退休教师,他是一个农村来到城市打工的送水工人,我们相识相恋于这座城市,学历出身工作性别都不会影响到我们的爱情!我们决心相依相伴,永不分离。”两人这样表示。
对于一些人的不理解,两位老先生还在微博中进行了反驳,认为他们之间的感情是真正的爱情:“我们两个老头相爱有什么错?你们凭什么污言秽语攻击我们!我们俩只是产生一小小点爱情,老来的爱情不容易!”
过几天就要结婚了
两位老先生还通过微博来发布他们俩的结婚公告:“网友同志们,你们愿意参加我们的婚礼吗?愿意祝福我们老来的爱情吗?愿意的话就送来你们的祝福吧。我们只能邀请二十五个人来参加婚礼,因为饭店太小摆不了几桌!虽然我们拿不到结婚证,但是我们希望这个婚礼是神圣的是有人见证的。”
有网友表示,虽然尊重两人的选择,但是却不能理解如此高调宣布的做法,因为这样的做法,毕竟会引起很多人的反感。
他们俩的感情并没有得到亲朋好友们的理解和祝福,据称,其中一人的孩子甚至不再跟自己的父亲讲话。
记者与这两位老先生取得了联系,他们告诉记者,他们两人确实过几天就要结婚了,正在准备婚礼的事情,并且希望记者“到时候也能参加。”
