Liu Wei describes his unique business as a 'crematorium of wedding photos,' catering to urban divorcees in China, highlighting the cultural complexities of disposing personal memories.
With the rise of divorces in China, many couples are left with large framed wedding portraits, leading to Liu's venture into document shredding, specifically targeting these remains of failed marriages.
The push for traditional marriage in China, prompted by the government, contrasts with a noticeable increase in divorces, showcasing the tensions between modern relationships and cultural expectations.
Liu's business thrives in this post-divorce phase where clients feel the need to erase remnants of a marriage that once appeared perfect, emphasizing privacy and emotional closure.
