An incredible love story has come out of China recently and touched the world. It is a story of a man & an older woman who ran off to live and love each other in peace for over half a century.
The 70 years-old Chinese man who hand-carved more than 6000 stairs up a mountain for his 80 years-old wife has passed away in the cave which has been the couple's home for the last 5 years.
More than 50 years ago, Liu Guojiang a 19 year-old boy, fell in love with a 29 years old widowed mother named Xu Chaoqin.
In a twist worthy of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, friends & relatives criticized the relationship because of the age difference and the fact that Xu already had children.
At that time, it was unacceptable and immoral for a young man to love an older woman. To avoid the criticism and the scorn of their communities, the couple decided to elope and lived in a cave in Jiangjin County in Southern ChongQing Municipality.
In the beginning, life was harsh as they had nothing, no electricity or even food. They had to eat grass and roots they found in the mountain, and Liu made a kerosene lamp to light up their lives.
Xu felt that she had tied Liu down and repeatedly asked him,'Are u regretful'. Liu always replied,"as long as we are industrious, life will improve".
In the second year of living in the mountain, Liu began and cintinued for over 50 years, to hand-carve the steps so that his wife could get down the mountain easily.
Half a century later in 2001, a group of adventurers were exploring the forest and were surprised to find the elderly couple and the more than 6000 hand-carved steps.
