The 102-year-old Song Qinglin and his wife, 99-year-old Song Lisi, were too poor to celebrate their marriage properly.
They were engaged in 1936, with only three dishes at their wedding banquet. The couple, from Anhui Province in eastern China, put on their wedding suits, and here they are in a photo shoot, touchingly holding hands.
It was only on their 80th wedding anniversary, on July 23rd, that the couple had their wedding photos taken. This dream could hardly have come true without the help of dozens of volunteers who cared.
