A romantic gesture in a pig suit

Zhao, who dressed up like a pig, talks with his girlfriend on a street in Shijiazhuang, North China's Hebei province, Oct 20, 2010. Zhao succeeded in asking his girlfriend for forgiveness after a quarrel, by dressing himself in a pig suit. He racked his brain for 10 days before coming up with this plan, and put it into practice on the street in front of a park in Shijiazhuang on the afternoon of Oct 20, 2010. The girlfriend was surprised to see a man in pig costume coming up and knocking on her car window, but was deeply touched after recognizing her boyfriend. Their reconciliation was marked by a big hug, which was hailed by the pedestrians. [Photo/CFP]
