A TIBETAN COUPLE'S WEDDING PHOTOS THAT CAPTIVATED CHINA


 This Tibetan couple's wedding photos captivated  millions of Chinese social media users. Gerong Phuntsok and Dawa Drolma were simply following couples across China when they took a range of photos in both modern and traditional settings. What they didnot count on is their stylish snaps ending up being seen by a huge proportion of Chinese internet users.
The photo shows the couples in a coffee shop, amusement park and driving a sports car along with more pastoral scenes from a Tibetan village.
Phuntsok in an interview with Xinhua, China's official state news agency speculated what would have made the photos so popular.
"May be we represented thousands of young people from ethnic minorities, who left their hometowns to pursue a 'modern life' but chose to return to tradition after feeling a void in their heart" he said. " I think we found an echo with other web users. As we fight our dreams, some of us get lost. So we wanted to say with the photos; stick to your beliefs" Take a  look at the photos,
