Sichuan food comes from Russia with love  

A Chongqing man won the heart of a beautiful Russian pianist, thanks to the help of a bit of home cooking.

Dubbed the "piano princess", Galina, 23, fell in love with Chinese musical student Wei Hefu in Russia two years ago after eating a Chinese dish he had prepared, reports the Chongqing Evening News.

The dish was yuxiang rousi, or fish-flavored pork threads, which is traditional Sichuan cuisine.
The couple tied the knot in Chongqing's Kaixian County early this month and held a traditional Chinese wedding.

Wearing a red wedding gown, Galina bowed to her parents-in-law and a number of friends and relatives at the wedding ceremony and told them her love story with Wei.

Born in a musical family in St Petersburg in Russia, Galina became the chief pianist at the Conservatory of Music of National Normal University two years ago.
