My name is Huang Ya. Su Fei, Lin Yue, Zhao Ting, and I have been close friends and roommates since high school. We worked hard throughout high school, earned excellent grades, and got into Tsinghua and Peking University, where we chose to pursue combined master's and doctoral degrees. During that time, Su Fei and I gradually developed feelings that went beyond friendship. However, traditional views on marriage are deeply rooted in society today, and same-sex couples face many pressures and challenges. We decided to apply for residency in a European country and marry in a place where same-sex marriage is legal. While abroad, we achieved tremendous success in technological research on treatments for chronic illnesses such as diabetes and high blood pressure.
