News of the ceremonies sparked an Internet discussion. Feng Xiaowen, a 28-year young man who divorced last year, said he can't accept the divorce ceremonies, as they might cause troubled couples to recall the sweet memories and then hesitate to end the unhappy marriage.

"The pain might be prolonged," Feng said.

However, an Internet user identified as "yunzhuiyue" said the ceremonies are laudable.

"To have the courage to go through a divorce ceremony proves those involved can directly face reality," the posting stated.

Opinions vary, but Shu and her company believes an actual divorce ceremony will be held soon.

"We will promote the ceremony as a way for divorced couples to show respect to each other, gain relief and then begin their new lives," Shu said.
