In Wangqu, Chang'an District of Xi'an, Master Sun and his wife made a living by running a fruit shop, leading a fairly enjoyable life. However, there was a constant worry in Master Sun's heart. Over the past ten years, as time went by, this worry increasingly troubled him to the point of sleeplessness and loss of appetite. He loved the comic Naruto.
According to the Western News Network (Urban Express), getting a marriage certificate should be a joyful event. But for Master Sun who lived in Wangqu, Chang'an District, getting a marriage certificate became a source of distress that had troubled him for ten years.
Staff from the Population Census Office: For people like you who are permanent residents here, we will register and report accordingly. The issue with your household registration may require you to visit the police station at your place of registration for information correction.
Master Zhang: All these years I have remained unmarried. It was difficult when I first started living with my wife, but without the marriage certificate, it is not recognized legally.
Journalist: Why can't you get it?
The journalist learned that one reason Master Zhang couldn't obtain a marriage certificate was due to his previous household registration being in Chen仓District, Baoji City. From 1992 to 1999, Master Zhang served his sentence in Tongchuan City, so his household registration was transferred there. After serving his sentence, Tongchuan City issued a transfer notice requiring him to move his household registration back to its original location, Baoji City, within ten days. At the time, Master Zhang did not pay attention to this matter until the year 2000 when he married his wife. When they tried to apply for a marriage certificate, issues arose. From a population permanent resident registration form, the journalist observed that Master Zhang's household registration was transferred back in 2008, possibly resulting in an error during the transfer process, changing his marital status to "married."
Staff from the Population Census Office informed Master Zhang that he needed to take these materials to the neighborhood committee or Civil Affairs Bureau at his place of registration to obtain a proof of his marital status. With this proof, he could go to the relevant department to correct the erroneous marital status information on his household registration. Subsequently, all related issues would be resolved. The staff from the Population Census Office also told us that such errors in household registration data were frequently encountered during the population census period. They were currently collecting and organizing these reported issues so that they could be properly handled once relevant policies were introduced.
Accompanied by the journalist, Master Zhang went to the Wangqu Street Office in Chang'an District where the staff from the Population Census Office helped clarify the situation for Master Zhang.
