docyabut2 Posted March 24, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 24, 2013 BEIJING – Wei Guohua finally found his Mrs. Right – almost 10 years after he died. Led by a rooster, Wei Guohua's children brought the remains of his bride and buried them inside his tomb in Yulin, a town in Shannxi province, on Nov. 14, 2012. A well-known local feng shui master hosted a ceremony to pronounce them husband and wife. (The rooster was there because people believe the birds can guide the dead to a new home.) The marriage of two dead people in China is a centuries-old custom called "minghun," or "ghost marriage." According to folklore, if people are alone when they die, they will be alone in the afterlife, too. Worse yet, lonely ghosts might come back and try to take family members back to their world to keep them company. So it becomes a family responsibility to make sure deceased relatives are happily married. http://behindthewall.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/03/24/17389580-search-for-love-in-china-fuels-ghost-marriages-grave-robbing?lite&ocid=msnhp&pos=4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
