Reunited after 18 years, Venus and Hans finally entered the palace of marriage again. On April 11, Jin Xing posted his marriage certificate with Hans on social platforms, announcing that the two had officially remarried and registered at the Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau.
"Eighteen years later, I re-registered and remarried, and it also witnessed our feelings and responsibilities along the way. Venus wrote. It was undoubtedly a joyful day for this couple who stayed in love.
Jin Xing, formerly known as Zheng Qun, was born in Wuhu, Anhui Province. She showed a special sexual orientation from an early age, experienced family misunderstandings and social prejudices, and finally completed sex reassignment surgery in 2002 and officially became a woman.
Professional post-operative care and inner self-identity have allowed Venus to gradually find her own position and self-confidence, and she has also become the most famous transgender person in China.
In 2003, Venus met Hans from the Netherlands. The two fell in love at first sight and soon began living together. In 2005, Jin Xing and Hans registered their marriage in Beijing, becoming the first legal marriage of a transgender person in China at that time.
They also adopted three children together, and the family of five lived happily ever after.
However, due to Hans's foreign nationality, his son Dudu could not directly settle in Hans's hukou when he went to school, and he needed to apply for an international adoption certificate one year in advance.
In order to allow Dudu to enroll on time, Venus and Hans had to divorce in 2006, but their relationship was not affected. "The divorce was purely helpless, and our relationship has always been good. Venus once said.
Despite nominally being "divorced", Venus and Hans have always lived together, supporting each other and running a common business. They use their stories to help and encourage more LGBTI people, and actively participate in public welfare and contribute to society.
In 2018, Venus announced that she had re-engaged Hans. Finally, after 18 years, the two officially entered the Civil Affairs Bureau and re-registered as husband and wife.
Venus was able to legally marry Hans again, which is closely related to the legal policy of the mainland. The Marriage Law stipulates that marriage must be between a man and a woman, but transsexuals can legally marry according to their new sex after sex reassignment surgery.
In 2003, the Regulations on the Administration of Gender Reassignment Surgery were promulgated to further protect the legitimate rights and interests of transgender persons. After completing the gender reset, Venus was granted a female legal status, so she could marry Hans, the opposite sex.
We must face up to and respect the transgender community. For a long time, due to traditional cultural and cognitive biases, transgender people often experience discrimination, and it is difficult for families and societies to accept them.
However, gender identity disorder exists objectively, and gender change is the only way for them to seek self-identity and achieve mental health. The story of Venus shows us that transgender people are no different from ordinary people, and that they have the same desire to be understood and respected.
The marriage between Venus and Hans also makes us reflect on the nature of marriage. A marriage can go through many trials and tribulations, and finally reunite, that kind of relationship must be extraordinary.
With 18 years of time and dedication, they have proved that love can transcend gender and overcome all hardships and hardships.
"People who are destined will eventually become married", Jin Xing wrote, the core of marriage and family relations is the fate of this bond and watch.
Remarriage means a lot to Venus and Hans, and the reunion after 18 years is a new beginning in their love. Let's applaud their happiness and wish all partners in the world to be united forever and live life together.
