An incredible love story has come out of China recently and managed to touch the world.
It is a story of a man and an older woman who ran off to live and love each other in peace for over half a century.
The 70-year-old Chinese man who hand-carved over 6,000 stairs up a mountain for his 80-year-old wife has passed away in the cave which has been the couple's home for the last 50 years.
Over 50 years ago, Liu Guojiang a 19 year-old boy, fell in love with a 29 year-old widowed mother named Xu Chaoqin..
In a twist worthy of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, friends and 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 market gossip 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 hey 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 that they used to light up their lives.
Xu felt that she had tied Liu down and repeatedly asked him, 'Are you 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 continued 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 over 6,000 hand-carved steps. Liu MingSheng, one of their seven children said, 'My parents loved each other so much, they have lived in seclusion for over 50 years and never been apart a single day. He hand carved more than 6,000 steps over the years for my mother's convenience, although she doesn't go down the mountain that much.'
The couple had lived in peace for over 50 years until last week. Liu, now 72 years, returned from his daily farm work and collapsed. Xu sat and prayed with her husband as he passed away in her arms. So in love with Xu, was Liu, that no one was able to release the grip he had on his wife's hand even after he had passed away.
'You promised me you'll take care of me, you'll always be with me until the day I died, now you left before me, how am I going to live without you?'
Xu spent days softly repeating this sentence and touching her husband's black coffin with tears rolling down her cheeks.
In 2006, their story became one of the top 10 love stories from China , collected by the Chinese Women Weekly. The local government has decided to preserve the love ladder and the place they lived as a museum, so this love story can live forever.

Lavanya Karalkar | | True love between two lovemates from the sky.. very touching to me..but to some stonehearted ones..don't really know..
______
Here his wife is injured and the condition is very appalling
Brings food to her ..
He is aware that his sweetheart is dead and will not come to him again he cries with adoring love
Stand beside her and scream saddened of her death
center>
Finally aware that she would not return to him and she departed him, stand beside her body with sad and sorrow
Photos of two birds said to have pictured in the Republic of Ukraine where this bird is interested quickly to save his wife. Millions of people cry after watching this picture in America and Europe even in India
It is said that the photographer sold these picture for a nominal price to the most famous news paper in France. And all the copies of that news paper were sold out on the day of publishing these pictures
PS: Please await such true love stories from LK(g) in the near future.

Lavanya Karalkar | | why true love story should have moral. Stranger?
It is touching your ooppps my heart, that is what i wanted to tell.
What is the moral you learnt from Romeo Juliet, Ambikapathi-Amaravathi immortal love stories.
May be some stonehearted or rather heartless will say,
Moral of the above mentioned love epics can be
'Use your head and dont use your heart'..Private Reply to Lavanya Karalkar |

Ganesh Ram | | Moral of RandJ and A and A is not for the common man, but if you are a poor boy and you are in love with a rich girl then the moral blooms.
How much ever the guy sings,
araNmaNai annakiLi tharaiyula nadpadhu adukumA adukumA
and how much ever the girl says,
.........., araNmaNai kodukumA
and both sings,
pOvOmA oorgOlam
to make a good ending the guy should be a good UFC/WWW/WWE fighter.Private Reply to Ganesh Ram |
