Embracing a 'naked marriage'

Doing without a ring, apartment and car, is becoming more acceptable to young people who want to get married sooner rather than later. Gan Tian reports

Zhang Yi, a 28-year-old editor at the fashion magazine Sunshine, imagined her boyfriend's proposal like this: In a nice restaurant, he gets down on his knees, flourishes a diamond ring and asks: "Will you marry me?"

She would then scream, and with tears of joy in her eyes, throw herself into his arms.
