香港の政党「香港経済民生連盟（BPA）」の主席を務める盧偉國氏（73）が、広東オペラ女優の余仲欣氏（31）と婚約したことを発表した。
元立法会議員である盧氏は金曜日、婚約者と共に党本部で記者会見を開き、婚約を発表した。広東オペラという共通の趣味を持つ二人は、会見中にオペラの一節を披露し、仲睦まじく手をつなぐ姿も見せた。盧氏の今回の婚約は、2019年に妻の王少珍氏が亡くなって以来、5年ぶりのこととなる。二人の出会いは数十年前まで遡り、当時小学生だった余氏が広東オペラのコンクールで優勝した際、盧氏の亡き妻を通じて紹介されたことがきっかけだった。結婚式は10月に予定されている。香港では再婚件数が増加傾向にあり、2019年の15,832件から2024年には20,971件へと32％増加している。
