Lu Chi went to Africa for three years and said he wanted to give Shen Mian a home with a garden.
When he came back, he was lame on one leg and clutching a pile of unsent letters in his hand.
Shen Mian glanced at him and threw the letter into the wastebasket.
"Lu Chi, you are no longer worthy of me."
Later he put on a suit to marry someone else, and she barged in at the wedding——
He took off his veil in public and told everyone: "I can't go back."
They stayed in a hotel that cost 50 yuan a night and ate lunch boxes that cost 15 yuan.
He said he would plant sunflowers for her when he got rich.
She said: "Don't dream, it's good to be alive."
