“I decided to join this event because I was moved by its slogan, ‘Fangxiang Xijiang – Encounter Pure Love.’ It felt so beautiful, not as tacky as the word ‘encounter.’ I never expected to meet her here — maybe it’s fate. Though we haven’t known each other long, I hope our journey ahead can be a long one. I’m grateful to this event for letting me meet someone so important in my life.” Mr. Li, who was invited on stage, expressed his deep love for his partner with heartfelt words, keeping the romantic atmosphere at the event alive.
