Tangtang drew the attention of the public after asking passers-by in downtown Chongqing to help organize a "wedding" ceremony for her and her deceased boyfriend. But the place she chose for the "wedding" and her appearance made the story one of commerce rather than true love, says an article on Rednet.cn. Excerpts:
Netizens are divided on the veracity of Tangtang's story. Many have said that her story represents true love, a rarity in today's commercialized society. Others doubt that advertising and other companies are behind the Tangtang case.
Though Tangtang denies that she has commercial intentions, and said she would strive to fulfill the promise she made to her boyfriend despite her parents' disagreement. In fact, Tangtang does not need to get "married" to her dead boyfriend with all pomp and show. Her boyfriend would be more than happy even with a simple wedding.
