?Chapter 216: Chapter 0216: Getting the Marriage License 4_1 Chapter 216: Chapter 0216: Getting the Marriage License 4_1 On this horizontally rectangular pink marriage certificate, a red star, flanked by two fluttering five-starred flags, is printed at the top. The periphery of the paper is embellished with a border of printed lace. Beneath the star emblem are the three big red characters of “marriage certificate,” ensconced in a circle formed by the border, alongside the black inked traditional characters of horizontal inscription.

The border, intricate in design, bright in colour, and comprising of elements like peace doves, mandarin ducks playing in the water, peony flowers, and pomegranates with red peels and open mouths, lends an air of nuptial felicity to the otherwise simple paper.

The details on the certificate are intriguing. The first names, “Lu Jiang, male, Feng Qingxue, female” are parallel to each other, followed by their ages, the parallel “twenty-nine, nineteen,” with a suffix meaning “years old.” Afterwards, the inscription “The two parties voluntarily marry, and upon review, comply with the marital provisions of the People’s Republic of China’s Marriage Law. This certificate is hereby issued” can be seen, with the issuing authority and the date of the marriage registration, along with a huge red seal, displayed at the bottom right corner.
