It is a rare occasion to have a chance to attend a cross cultural Chinese/Indian wedding late October 2006. My Indian colleague is marrying a local Chinese girl from Jilin province. We took a night train from Beijing station departing at 2240 hour on the 27th Oct, and arrived next morning 0700 hour at Changchun (capital of Jilin). Thereafter we were transferred to Shangri La Hotel located at the heart of Changchun. We had good buffet breakfast at the coffee garden before our city tour around the capital. We visited the famous “Puyi” (the last emperor) palace. Puyi was named to be the “puppet government” as he has lost all political power to the Japanese and Westerners at that time. The palace was only the harbor place for Puyi and he was secretly under strict vigilance by the foreign power, unknowingly.
