Man marries fiancee’s dead body at funeral

                         
A 35 year-old Chinese man has married his partner’s corpse during funeral to show his love for her after she lost her battle with breast cancer.


The heart-broken groom, by name Xu Shinan, hoped that the wedding ceremony could realise his late fiancée’s Yang Liu dreams of being a bride. 


According to report, they have dated for 12 years, and Yang Liu, was dressed in a white bridal gown and surrounded by 169 bouquets pink roses when Xu read his wedding vows to her, according to a local report.

The special ceremony took place in the funeral parlour of Dalian in eastern China and was witnessed by the families and friends of the couple. 

He said, ‘Wife, please don’t worry! For me, the rest of my life will be in pain, but I will not give up.”

Yang died on October 14, 2019 at the age of 34 after battling cancer for five and a half years.

Xu said he had stayed by the side of Yang’s body 24 hours a day for seven days since her death, which is folklore in China to pay respect to the departed.

He also added, “My wife used to say that nobody was allowed to cry should she die. I was holding back my tears on the day, but when [her body] was sent for cremation, I couldn’t fight it anymore,’
 Xu said.

The couple’s story was featured in a recent report by Dalian Evening News.

According to the newspaper, Xu and Yang were university classmates. They got to know each other by having long chats through the internet and fell in love in August, 2007.
