Six prisoners in Chongqing Yongchuan Jail take wedding photos with their wives to mark the arrival of the Qixi Festival on Sunday, August 11, 2013. The Yongchuan Jail is carrying out themed activities as the festival approaches, allowing several prisoners to take wedding dress photos to make up for not spending time with their wives. Qixi Holiday, the Chinese Valentine's Day, which falls on the seventh day of the 7th lunar month, celebrates the annual meeting of the cowherd and weaver girl in Chinese mythology.
