China dog rescuer marries volunteer surrounded by furry friends
Back in 2020, Yang resolved to dedicate his life to ensuring that dogs receive the love and care they deserve.
With his own savings, Yang began rescuing stray dogs and eventually established a modest shelter that initially housed 10 dogs.
In 2022, a university student known as Zhao joined the shelter as a volunteer. She generously donated her entire part-time earnings to assist Yang in purchasing dog food.
As they spent time together, their feelings blossomed quietly.
After three years together, the couple decided to marry, choosing the dog shelter as the venue for their wedding.
Volunteers rolled out a red sheet in place of a carpet to create an aisle within the shelter, flanked by cages housing dogs on either side.
On May 25, the couple arrived in formal wedding attire, holding hands as they entered the shelter, with over 200 dogs lining the path. More than 300 volunteers gathered to join in the celebration.

Do you have a book, movie or show recommendation? Send us your top picks using this form . A book I love is The Not-So-Uniform Life of Holly-Mei by Christina Matula, published by Ink Yard. It's really good, and I think other people should read it too. I would give it four and a half stars. The book is the first in a series that also includes The Not-So-Perfect Plan and The Not-So-Simple Question. In the first novel, a girl named Holly-Mei moves to Hong Kong all the way from Toronto, Canada. She cannot wait for a fresh start, but Holly-Mei's big mouth means she does not seem to get anything right. If you like a story about friendship, laughs and food, pick this book up.

How 20th-century Hong Kong and Guangdong art stood out from the rest of China
For China, the early- to mid-20th century was a time marked by political and social upheaval. It began with the Xinhai Revolution, which saw the end of the imperial system, before the Second Sino-Japanese War rocked the nation. The Chinese Communist Revolution and Cultural Revolution signified massive political and social shifts. In 1949, after the Communist Party took power, a border was put up between mainland China and Hong Kong. Against this complex backdrop, Cantonese artists adopted new ways of expression that culminated in a modern artistic identity. This identity is now being examined in 'Canton Modern: Art and Visual Culture, 1900s-1970s' at Hong Kong's M+ museum. An artwork by Yip Yan-chuen depicting Hennessy Road in Hong Kong. A series of landscape sketches at the 'Canton Modern' exhibition chronicle Yip's life as a wartime refugee. Photo: M+ The exhibition, which runs until October 5, brings together 200 works from the museum's own collection, as well as from other institutions and private collections.
