Is this the best breakup ever or what? A couple in China held a semi-public breakup ceremony complete with roses and flickering candles to celebrate their split.
The couple, Xu Minyu and Xiao Ying, were together for four years, but they decided to split after college in order to pursue different career paths — he in civil service and she at a company in Beijing. But what was the breakup ceremony like?
Surrounded by fellow students and a collection of burning candles, Xu Minyu approached his girlfriend with a bouquet of 99 roses, took a knee, and asked to end the relationship. The crowd encouraged Xiao Ying to accept, and after a two-minute silence, she took the flowers and accepted the proposal.
Although a breakup can be traumatic, that doesn’t mean that the love that came before it wasn’t great. Seeing a couple respectfully honoring their connection like this warms our heart.
