Marriage, as they say in all the weddings I’ve ever been to, should never be entered into lightly and it is always commendable for couples to have a good think before making that big step. Niaoniao is brilliant in so many ways and it’s so easy to forget that there’s so much of life that’s been closed to her by virtue of the fact that mother and father weren’t around to model the most rudimentary expectations of life. Marriage being one of those. Her earliest models — Madam Ge and Second Uncle — weren’t exactly the epitome of marital harmony and bliss so I can imagine it’s not something she’s ever given serious thought to.
