In a recent incident in Xianghe county, Langfang, Hebei province, six individuals were penalized by local authorities for disrupting a wedding procession and demanding cigarettes. The event, which occurred on November 5, saw the group stopping a wedding car under the guise of offering congratulations and insisting on receiving nine cartons of cigarettes, without specifying any particular brand. Contrary to circulating online rumors, officials clarified that the claim of 50 cartons being involved was unfounded and originated from a driver within the wedding convoy who disseminated the false information. After a 20-minute standoff, the newlyweds managed to continue their journey in a different vehicle, while the six individuals departed empty-handed. Local authorities have vowed to intensify efforts to curb such disruptive practices and have urged the public to report any similar occurrences.
