EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Reuters, we are transported to a pet store in Shanghai on February 14,2006. The image showcases an enchanting moment between two tropical fish engaged in a tender kiss. These particular species of fish, known locally as "jie wen yu" or "kissing fish" hold great significance during the celebration of Valentine's Day in China. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns adorning these aquatic creatures create a mesmerizing visual spectacle. Their delicate fins gracefully intertwine as they lean towards each other, seemingly lost in their own underwater world of affection. It is as if time stands still for this pair of kissing fish, symbolizing love and unity amidst the bustling cityscape. This photograph not only captures the beauty and elegance of nature but also highlights cultural traditions surrounding romance and gift-giving. The popularity of these kissing fish as Valentine's Day gifts reflects the Chinese tradition of expressing love through meaningful gestures. Reuters has once again demonstrated its unparalleled ability to capture extraordinary moments from around the globe with impeccable quality. This print serves as a reminder that love knows no boundaries – even within the depths of an aquarium – and invites us to appreciate both the wonders of nature and diverse cultural practices that celebrate love in all its forms.
