BEIJING: Last month, Mr Liu Daguo, 69, invited family members to his home in south-western China's Chongqing city.
In a traditional Chinese ceremony, Mr Liu, a retiree who lost his wife of 32 years to kidney failure eight years ago, exchanged vows and 'married' his new life partner in every sense of the word - except the legal one.
The Lius are not alone in choosing not to officially register their union with the local marriage bureau, as is required for a marriage to be legal in China.
