, ‘(Seoul=Yonhap News) By Hong Je-seong = The largest joint wedding ever held in China took place simultaneously across the country.’,
,
, ‘ Global Times, an overseas publication, reported on the 23rd that with the support of the Chinese authorities, a total of 5,000 couples held group wedding ceremonies at the same time in 50 regions across the country.’,
,
, ‘ This group wedding, organized jointly by the Chinese civil government, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and the Women’s Federation, is the largest ever sponsored by the Chinese authorities since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949.’,
,
, ‘ The 5,000 couples, dressed in traditional Chinese attire, solemnly recited their marriage vows at 50 wedding venues nationwide, including Beijing, Zhengzhou, Hong Kong, and Macau.’,
,
, ‘ The newlyweds pledged to build a happy home and promised to simplify the marriage process and refrain from costly gifts.’,
,
, ‘ According to a newspaper report, depending on the region, dozens or hundreds of couples tied the knot, with the wedding venue in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region producing the most couples with 300 pairs nationwide.’,
,
, ‘ This joint wedding was organized with the aim of encouraging young people in China, who are avoiding marriage and childbirth due to economic burdens in the face of a low birth rate and an aging society.’,
,
, ‘ Population demographer He Ya-fu said, “One of the reasons for the recent decline in China’s marriage rate is the high cost of marriage,” adding that “the purpose of this joint wedding is to increase the marriage rate by encouraging simplified ceremonies to reduce marriage costs.”‘,
,
, ‘ China, once the world’s most populous country, saw a consecutive decline in the number of newborns, with over 10 million fewer births in both 2022 and 2023. According to the civil government, the number of marriage registrations in the first half of this year decreased by nearly 500,000 compared to the same period last year, totaling 3.43 million.’,
,
, ‘ In such a situation, Chinese authorities are actively taking various measures to promote marriage.’,
,
, ‘ Local authorities in China have pledged to accept even a single marriage registration, and the Xi’an city government in Shaanxi Province conducted a campaign to give lottery tickets to newlyweds, working overtime on the Double Seventh Festival (lunar July 7th) on the 10th of last month.’,
