Beautiful and Touching Love Story .......


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 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 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.

WISH YOU A DAY FULL OF REAL LOVE

*That you can live a charmed life, and that there is a
formula by which you can make this work.
Here is the formula: You can live a charmed life by causing others to live a charmed life. That is, be the source of 'charm' -- of charming moments and experiences -- in the life of another.
Be everyone else's Lucky Charm!
Make all who you touch today feel 'lucky' that you crossed their path.

*That nothing is as bad as it seems. Nothing .
There is a benefit and a blessing hidden in the folds of every experience and every outcome.
That includes every and any 'bad' thing that may be happening to you right now.
Change your perspective.
Know that nothing happens ever that is not for your highest good.
All that needs to change for you to see this...is your definition of 'Highest Good.'

*That disappointment is temporary. Only your thought it is permanent.
Change your mind about what has disappointed you and you will change your life.
All disappointment is just Advantage, looked at from the other side.


*That the best argument you can make is no argument at all.
Do not argue with life, or with anyone in life.
Life presents itself perfectly in every moment, and every person believe his or her point of view to be valid and 'right.'
Arguing with any of this is pointless, and a terrific waste of energy.
Simply create what you choose next.



WISH YOU BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND

Knowledge is to understand
To understand who you are.
If you know not who you are
What's the use of learning?
The aim in learning is
To understand God's Truth.
Because without knowledge
It is wasted hard labour.
Do not say: I know it all,
I am obedient to my God.
If you know not who God is
That is sheer idle talk.
Twenty-eight syllables
You read from end to end.
You name the first `alpha''
What can it possibly mean?
Yunus Emre says also
Let me receive what I need.
The best possible thing
Is to find perfect peace.
