 The file photo taken on Sept. 26, 2011 shows a young couple living in a rented apartment in Beijing, capital of China. In recent years, an increasing number of Chinese young people have chosen a "naked marriage." The term refers to a couple who get hitched without any major assets and who spend little on their wedding ceremony. Some do so due to their eagerness for independence, while others simply have no options. The "naked marriage" is increasingly accepted among the youths, especially those born in 1980s, who would rather marry first and strive for a better life together.(Xinhua/Zheng Huansong) |
