On January 30th, 2013, two aged homosexuals from Beijing got married in a small wedding party. Although the same-sex marriage is not admitted by law in China, homosexuality has been accepted by many Chinese people.

They only invited their close friends to their ceremony. It is a simple wedding but we can see their big smiles on face. I believe they both were immersed in happiness at that time.

I heard there's a village, probably Xu Zhou, northern jiang su province where there is very high rate of homosexuals..

And what's the difference between eunarch and gays..

A tradition? Wedding ceremony is very important to Chinese people. According to the law, you register at the civil affairs bureau and then you become a legal couple. However, they have to hold a wedding ceremony so that others can know they two get married.

This couple is different. They can not register at the civil affairs bureau. Thus, they hold a wedding ceremony to tell others 'They are married'.

It's their freedom. I neither oppose nor support their behavior.

We all know the end. Xiang Yu committed suicide by the Wu River and Liu Bang became the founder of the Han Dynasty.

Does that matter as a viewer who's won in the end? My opinion, Liu bang is no higher than Liu bei, but the luck matters in the end.

Do you mean Liu Bang won because of luck? I don't think so. Some TV serials and historical resources depict Liu Bang as a scumbag. But he actually wasn't. Otherwise, Zhang Liang, Xiao He and Han Xin wouldn't follow a scumbag and do their best to help him.

Xiang Yu is a hero. But he was arrogant and proud. If he listened to Fan Zeng's advice to kill Liu Bang, he wouldn't have committed suicide by the Wu River.

If Liu Bang had been born near the end of Han Dynasty, he would have been another Liu Bei who was the scumbag even though followed by the wisest man, Zhu Ge Liang...

Xiang Yu has the soft spot for the ones who are weaker than him. At the feast of Hong Men, Xiang Yu should have killed Liu Bang who at that time almost feared to P. And later on Xiang still had chance to escape for reserving his power remained when forced back to the side of Wu River, however he chose to suicide. It's Xiang's soft heartedness and arrogance that fails himeself.
