An elderly couple in Beijing, China, is here to reaffirm your faith in love and romance, and they’re doing so by recreating their wedding 70 years after their original wedding day. Like all romances that span across decades, the epic love story of Cao Yuehua and Wang Deyi is incredibly compelling to read, full of challenges and successes that have made the couple what they are today. Last week, their four children helped them recreate their wedding in the exact location where they were married in 1945, along the banks of Jialing River in Chongqing, China. “They have been together for so long, going through the war, the political turmoil and diseases, and can still stay with each other and love each other. We want to help them to commemorate their love,” the couple’s youngest son, 60-year-old Cao Pangpei said in an interview. See more of their story, from the early days until now, below.
