Our friend LiFei was married today to Xiao Xia, and we were honoured to be invited to his 'first' wedding party. They will be having two others - one at his home town, and one at the bride's home town. As usual, they banished the bad spirits with lots of loud fireworks and showered the bride and groom with sparkling tinsel fired from hand-held big 'crackers'. Red is the Chinese colour for a wedding so the bride wore red - a beautiful outfit which my photos do not do justice to. Li Fei himself looked very fine in his suit. The host of today's dinner was the Dean of the English department here, Dean Tian. He really enjoyed himself with the microphone in his hand! We had a small table of foreign teachers and our boss, Mrs Liu and her off-sider Mrs Gua. It was a veritable banquet - everything from pig's trotters to chicken, and a few dishes we couldn't identify. I will post some photos for your interest.
