An 80-year-old Chinese man married a 23-year-old girl, who is 57 years younger than him, after they fell in love upon meeting at a nursing home. According to media reports, the story took place in Hebei Province, China, where the girl, named Xiao Fang, who worked at a nursing home, met the love of her life in an elderly man named Mr. Li. The duo quickly became close friends, and eventually, their friendship turned into a romantic love story, leading them to decide to marry. Despite her family's disapproval of the relationship, she cut off all ties with her parents to marry Li, according to news18.com.
Xiao revealed that her attraction to Li was due to his maturity, stability, and wisdom. Li fell in love with Xiao because of her vitality and youthful kindness. The couple recently held a simple wedding celebration, which was attended only by the couple, as both families refused to accept the unequal marriage from their perspective. Many "love-filled" photos of the newlyweds surfaced on social media, showcasing the couple in romantic poses in front of the camera.
The romantic story between Xiao Fang and Li sparked heated debate on social media, with many accusing the girl of marrying an elderly man for money, while numerous others praised her for her courage and love for Li. The report also indicated that the girl was the sole provider for her family, and due to his age and health issues, the husband relies on his pension. Despite all the challenges, the girl chose to marry a man the age of her grandfather, claiming that anything is possible with Li by her side.
