A beautiful Love Story...

In 2001, a group of people were exploring the forest in Jiangjin County, China where they discovered hand-carved steps that led to a cave. The curious adventurers followed the steps and to their surprise, they found that the cave was actually a home to an elderly couple who had a beautiful love story to tell. Half a century before, Liu Guojiang, a 19 year-old boy had fell in love with Xu Chaogin, a 29 year-old widow. At that time, their love was not allowed because of the age difference—it was morally wrong and unacceptable. So the couple decided to run away and live in a cave where they could have peace and freedom from their society. In the second year of living in the cave, Liu started building the 6,000 stairs for his wife, so she could go down the mountain easily. Those were hard days since they didn't have any modern conveniences or food, but their love was bigger than anything, and they fed themselves with roots and herbs from the forest. They had seven children and lived very happily until the day Liu came from his job as usually and collapsed. He died in Xu’s arms. Liu and Xu lived in seclusion for over 50 years and never were apart a single day. Read more and see their pictures at http://www.hoax-slayer.com/greatest-chinese-love-story.shtml
