In 1969, 18-year-old Chen Weiguo, an educated youth from Beijing, fell in love with Tian Xiulian, the daughter of the village chief, when he was jumping in the queue in Mizhi, northern Shaanxi. On the night they fell in love in the cave, they made a private commitment for life, promising that they would live up to their love in this life.
Unexpectedly, his father blocked him and Chen Weiguo was forced to join the army and leave. Tian Xiulian was pregnant with his child, but was forced to marry the son of a commune cadre. 134 Love letters were intercepted, and the two of them thought that the other had changed their minds.
Chen Weiguo rescued people and became disabled during the Tangshan earthquake. After returning to Beijing, he died alone and remained unmarried for 40 years for his first love. Tian Xiulian raised her son alone amid domestic violence, cried her eyes out, and kept that promise throughout her life.
In 2013, 62-year-old Chen Weiguo returned to Mizhi and finally learned the truth - that woman had never betrayed him, she had given birth to his child and had been tortured for 44 years!
The moment she pushed open the courtyard door, she turned around with gray hair on her temples: "Weiguo, you are finally here." He burst into tears: "Xiulian, I'm sorry, I'm late."
What shocked him even more was that his son was 43 years old and his grandson was in high school!
This is a story about perseverance, spanning half a century of waiting, just to prove that true love can stand the test of time. Some people are separated and separated, and each goes through ups and downs; some people meet again in their old age, and the rest of their lives are sweet.
