On Sunday, 82 newlywed couples attended the 9th group wedding for doctoral students at the Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) in Harbin, Heilongjiang province.

They walked hand in hand into the hall of happiness, surrounded by the blessings of their teachers, friends and family members.

Each couple received gifts from the institute, including custom-made diamonds, golden plates and ties.

The diamonds, named "Sincerity", were independently developed by the School of Astronautics's infrared thin film and crystal team.

Cutting-edge technology was employed to create the diamonds using a process known as microwave chemical vapor deposition. This method utilizes advanced equipment to grow high-quality diamond crystals efficiently.

The related technology has won several awards, including the China Patent Gold Award and the Heilongjiang Province Patent Gold Award.

The diamonds' extremely high hardness and chemical stability are meant to symbolize enduring love for each couple.

"This diamond carries the unique sentiments and romance of HIT," Professor Zhu Jiaqi, head of the team, said at the wedding ceremony. "It not only serves as a witness to your deep affection but also as a recognition of your knowledge and skills, as well as a deep wish and expectation for all the students."

"I also hope you can overcome difficulties, forge ahead courageously, and join hands with determination to write a splendid life story with youthful vigor in the future," he added.

"I hope that you will always cherish the original intention of love and, with the belief of weathering storms together, embark on a more happy and fulfilling life," she said.
