Beibei has finally divorced Dabin, and put an end to the loveless, seven-year sham marriage. Her decision to marry Spring Ocean, a man who is 10 years younger, is the talk of the town.

It shows the former playgirl is now ready to become a wife and mother. The wedding takes place on the roof of the Beijing Grand Hotel, overlooking the ancient Forbidden City as well as the neon-lighted commercial district.

Beibei looks gorgeous in her Vivienne Tam red bridal cheongsam. Spring Ocean is wearing a $650 two-tone silk reversible Shanghai Tang jacket.

The wedding consists of musicians, performance artists, and a DJ for entertainment. Celebrities and notables, from authors to movie stars, are seen in the crowd. Niuniu is invited by Beibei to be the master of ceremonies for the party.

When people are seated, singer Lan Huahua, who Beibei represents, sings I Love You in different languages to the newly-weds. Lily, the popular Chinese zither player, performs Flowing Water on her 400-year-old guqin. Spring Ocean and his band play their new experimental piece, a Buddhist-like chant mixed with upbeat techno dance music. After the music, Niuniu goes around to greet everybody.

CC returns from London. She has been promoted to the directorial level in a multinational PR company. But her problem has always been the same: she missed London when she was in China and now she misses China when she is in London.
