Most of us marry for love, but some marry for money. Women who choose to marry men for their wealth and social status are branded as "gold diggers." Most of the time, women who engaged in this type of marriage uses their youth and attractive looks so that they can marry old and wealthy magnates.
Money is not a very effective driving force in a marriage. Most marriages who are built upon this will soon crumble and fall apart. This is the reason why gold diggers are looked down upon by the society. One of them is Fu Xuewei, who was branded as a gold digger following her publicized marriage with an old man.
Their wedding photos went viral on social media, earning her the reputation as a gold digger. The 25-year-old woman from Chengdu, China was criticized and called names, but many people don't know the real story behind her viral 'marriage.' What the prying eyes don't know is there's more to their 'marriage' than meets the eye.
According to sources online, the 25-year-old woman engaged with her grandfather in a fake wedding ceremony. Her 87-year-old grandfather was terminally ill and it's only a matter of time before he passes away. Ever since Fu is a little girl, her grandpa has already dreamed of walking her down the aisle when she get married. Unfortunately, time is running out.
Because of this, Fu decided to let her beloved grandfather experience a wedding before he passes away. Even though she has no plans whatsoever to marry, the 25-year-old woman willingly wore a wedding dress for the sake of her grandpa's happiness. As customary, they also walked down the aisle with their arms wrapped on each other.
To remember their special moment, Fu and her grandfather even had professional nuptial photos taken. However, many people on social media who saw this on social media took this the wrong way. In spite of all the criticisms she's getting, Fu remains optimistic in remembering her beloved grandfather:
“I had my grandfather’s portrait tattooed on my arm in January because I want my new friends and my children to be able to know what he looks like in the future.”
