Drug Addicts Marry in Rehabilitation Center

Two former drug addicts fall in love and get married on Monday in the rehabilitation center where they were ordered to receive treatment in Kunming, the capital of southwest China’s Yunnan Province. That’s the story behind the first marriage to take place in a rehabilitation center in China.

Yunnan Daily reports that the 38-year-old groom, Zhang Qing, and the 31-year-old bride, Wang Jingying, had both been doing drugs for years. Both had been ordered to get treatment several times, but went back time and again, that is, until they met each other and fell in love in 2005.

An officer at the rehabilitation center said the couple changed completely after falling in love. They stayed away from their former drug buddies and rid their lives of drugs.

Still, the whole center was surprised when a month ago the two said they would marry. “We had never heard of something like this. This was the first time,” an officer said.

The rehabilitation center provided as much help as it could.

Accompanied by an officer, Zhang Qing and Wang Jingying registered for marriage at a local registration office this Monday.

“It is the happiest day for me of all these years,” Wang Jingying said.

A special bridal chamber has been set up and a big wedding will be held for the couple in the rehabilitation center this coming Friday.

The couple have also been offered jobs at the center.

Love is the most powerful affect at driving a human to doing anything for its sake alone. It is stronger than heroin or crack in driving unconditionally a human to any extent. Manifested in surealism Love is acquired through faith, hope, and guts to try, to believe. Released hormones and various mechanisms in the brain act in very similar manners to hard schedule I drugs. Dependency for Love arises as in highly addictive substances, such that Love, if classified, would be a human manufactured highly addictive drug with 100% hit rates and measurable effects. So, Love can conquer all. It is only to believe it will, and to let it, that we must do. Love is not hard to find. It is in us all the time, seeking its path into our lives. Love will conquer all. Believe. These two did. They won against what they could never win. Love won. -Alek
