A romantic collective wedding ceremony for "Beijing drifters" was held in Beijing Happy Valley before the Chinese Valentines’ Day, known as Qixi Festival, in Beijing.

Beijing drifters, a term used to describe hundreds of thousands of young people who are drawn to live in the capital, a city they believe to have more economic and cultural opportunities.

Although they are always laughing at themselves as "drifters" as many don't have a fixed place to live in and often move around Beijing's suburbs where the rents are less expensive, they keep perusing their happiness and love in the city.
