Why the Chinese are happy to mutilate each other at weddings

A viral video shows crowds of young people knocking out front doors in houses and restaurants, and this is a little-known Chinese folk tradition: mutilating at weddings. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Residents of the People's Republic of China sometimes do things on love holidays that even Russians who have seen everything can become uncomfortable.

Recently, thousands of views have been collected on Facebook from a selection of wedding ceremonies at which men selflessly break beautiful new doors. And they don't just try to open it, but literally destroy it.

It looks something like this.

The groom, with the help of friends, must knock down the doors to the house where the bride is located before marrying her. It looks like our "rite" of abduction, only much tougher and more traumatic.

Because sometimes knocking out doors, if they have glass in them, ends like this… These bridesmaids had to get shards out of their faces, and some needed hospitalization.

Chinese grooms break down doors with fiction and a spark. They use sledgehammers, battering rams, their own body. In a few days, the video has gained almost 900 thousand views and 2.5 thousand comments.

This fun Chinese wedding tin is not exhausted. People are constantly being crippled on such holidays because they play cruel games.

It is much more interesting when, for example, firecrackers are tied to the groom just below the back (yes, that's where) and the fuse is set on fire.

Is it customary to swing the groom in the air? Not in China. Here it is customary to break the groom in the best traditions of wrestling. Only sometimes it turns out to break for real.

The person who is dropped on the bench in this video really got a spinal fracture.

The most innocent entertainment in this series is to wrap the groom with tape and tie him to a pole. This is not a prank, not a city captured by ruthless terrorists, this is an ordinary wedding. People walk around and laugh, rejoice for the young.

Sometimes couples are tied together with tape, tied to a tree and flogged with various objects. Look, somehow there is no certainty that these guys have the happiest day in their lives?

Not every wedding is accompanied by such rituals, but there are several dozen cases when various cruel games with the bride or groom lead to injuries or even death a year.

So if you are going to marry a Chinese man or marry a Chinese woman, agree that you will walk in Russia. Here, the groom's friends can also put on women's underwear and even knock out some door, but everything will end in a banal fight at the very least.
