One of the biggest weddings in history took place today in China - and it wasn't a billionaire getting married. 24-year-old Xu Chenggong lost his father as a child, his mother abandoned him, and after his grandmother died, only his older brother remained. When he was saving up for the wedding, he had almost no one to invite. So he posted a talk on social media, hoping for 10-20 guests. Thousands of people from all over the country responded. Cows, pigs, produce, fruit, refrigerators full of food and flowers were brought to the celebration. A mobile operator provided a dedicated 5G base station, and chefs, hosts and organizers agreed to work for free. The local authorities helped to prepare a large place for the celebration.
