Love conquers hardships in bitter-cold border village

Fourteen years after falling for each other, couple cherish simple life

Guo Suli has fond memories of her wedding ceremony seven years ago in Beiji village in Mohe, the northernmost county in Heilongjiang province.

"It was on Dec 25 and the temperature fell to -42 C," the 34-year-old Guo said. "It was extremely cold that day, but I felt happy. The white snow and ice was just like our love - pure."
