LOVE IS SWEET

爱之甜蜜

At a wedding celebration in Sichuan Province, China, in the mid-1980s, a friend swings a piece of candy between the bride and groom, who both try to bite it at the same time. Candy is a traditional favor for wedding guests in China, as it symbolizes the sweetness of love.

上世纪八十年代中期，在中国四川省的一场婚礼上，新娘和新郎的朋友用绳子牵着一颗糖果，并让新郎新娘同时咬这块糖果。糖果是中国婚礼宾客的传统礼物，象征着爱情甜甜蜜蜜。

An antique Valentine's Day postcard. Cupid, the Roman god of love and a common figure of Valentine's Day, is often depicted as a winged infant—much like the cherubs in this postcard.

这是一张年代久远的情人节明信片。罗马爱神丘比特是常见的情人节形象，经常被描绘成有翅膀的婴儿，像这张明信片中的小天使一样。
