Wedding Photography War

Walking around the downtown shopping area, you can’t avoid the several “wedding photography” companies touting for business. They all specialise in providing near-identical tacky, cheesy pictures of the lovely couples sitting around in ridiculous poses, wearing clothes other than their own. Then they have their photographs retouched until their own mothers wouldn’t recognise them.

And people pay loads of money for this. So, it’s big business.

Last night at around 8 pm, there were three such companies with their tents set up on Zhongshan East Road, near the five pointed star sculpture, McDonald’s and the Xinhua book store.  An argument broke out among staff of rival companies, which then escalated into a full on fight.

Four people, all staff of one company, were stabbed by someone wielding a 15cm long knife. One of the injured was stabbed in the kidney and is in a critical condition.  The other three had less severe injuries.

Police are, of course investigating.

    It’s so sad, but still amazing. I sometimes wonder what goes on in some people’s minds in this city. They’re crazy! But still…I love this city and most of its people.
