At this time, the marriage certificate was a thick A4 sized paper, with a red cover that displayed the words "Marriage Certificate" in large characters. Inside was a design similar to a certificate, with a red flag, the names of the two individuals, and at the bottom in red print "Hardworking in building the nation, frugal in running the household" — it was very characteristic of the era.

Qin Xi rode his bicycle, enjoying his new wife's spoiled and wilful complaints, and said with a laugh: "Who said we aren't taking photos?"
