Although his older relatives still thought that red and white matters should be separated and could not understand the young people's idea, he was glad that his decision was supported by his family.
“This is a taboo for Chinese. The relatives of the older generation will ask why they chose an auspicious day to get married and go to the mountain resort. But I'm glad my parents are open-minded. They think it's ok if it's young people, and my in-laws are supportive.”
