During the recent three-day Dawuliang Singing Festival in Tongdao county of Huaihua, Hunan province, Dong men and women from Hunan and Guizhou provinces and the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region got together for their traditional celebration of the freedom to choose love.

Through songs and performances from April 16 to 18, they expressed the joy of love based on a folk tale.
