damn, that's a lot of tables. I bet they just invited everyone in the village

Makes sense since everyone knows about everyone else. :) Could be the head of the village's son/daughter getting married.

I'll do everybody a favor and copy and paste it here:

I asked my HK student about this. His family is from China and has land there.

He says this is not really a wedding but a town annual celebration. They call it a “wedding” but it is not a wedding like we know it. This is a town where everyone has the same last name, so it is more like a family party. There would be no gate crashers because Everyone knows Everyone else. If they have to use the bathroom, they just go home. It does not matter if it rains, because it is a specially picked auspicious day. It cannot be changed easily.

This is a fairly poor town. The yellow banner has the town name. The third character on the right is the word “town”. The blue banner next to it says “driving lessons”. Right over the wall might be a richer area of the city, where there are taller buildings.

In the middle of one picture where people are eating, there is a large pot on a crate. This would contain rice. It is elevated because food cannot go on the ground. The teapot is on the ground and that is ok.

They must have chicken at a dinner like this. Chicken is a symbol of prosperity, in remembrance of a time when they did not have a chicken to eat. The other dishes down below the chicken are pork, then beef with turnips, green beans and chicken, and a dish with shrimp.

The large brick cookers are common. Sometimes they build a big fire to heat them up, then pull the fire out and put in a chicken or some sweet potatoes. They cook very quickly and he says they are very good!

it's not a wedding..... it's not uncommon to have people to have dinner like this. again this is epic win of course but usually my distanced uncle has huge celebrations for new years etc and 5000 factory workers eats like that.

it owuldn't be a wedding cause everyone is in freaking scrubs.... and who serves such shitty food in a wedding. anyhooo... welcome to like few yrs ago. these pics are so old.
