A true love story:-

Here is a love story of two sweet hearts,who truly lived a memorable life for each other.
Over 50 years ago,master Liu, was 19 years-old , fell in love with 29 year-old widowed mother named Xui. At the time, it was unacceptable for a young man to love an older woman.
To avoid the gossips, the couple decided to elope and lived in a cave in Jiangjin County in Southern ChongQing area.
In the beginning, they had nothing, no electricity or even food. They had to eat grass, roots they found in the mountain, and Liu made a kerosene lamp that they used to lighten up( their lives).
In the second year of living in the mountain, Liu began, and continue for over 50 years, to carve by hand the steps so that his old wife could get down the mountain easily.
“My parents loved each other so much, they have lived in seclusion for over 50 years and never been apart for a single a single day.” Liu MingSheng, one of their seven children said, “He hand carved more than 6,500 steps over the years for my mother’s convenience.
The couple had lived for over 50 years until last week. Liu, now 72 years-old, returned from his daily farm work and got collapsed. Xui sat and prayed with her husband as he passed away in her arms.
So much in love with Xui, was Liu, that none was able to release the grip he had on his wife’s hand even after he had passed away.
“You promised me to take care of me,to be with me until the day I died,but now you left before me, how am I going to live without you?” … …
Xui spent days softly repeating this and touching her husband’s coffin with tears rolling down her cheeks. 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.
