A moving story.

Recently I have watching and learning about the story behind this great song. I found that not only is this a very good song but the meaning and story make it extra special.

Roughly the story is about a young man falls in love with a woman who was recently widowed with 4 children. Being in a time of set traditions, the main problem was that she was much older than him. It is something that we rarely think about nowadays, but remember at this time, this proved to be a major problem with Chinese traditions.  They decided to move away from the gossip and rumours that followed them to a more remote place. For his dedication and love for this woman, he made and carved out roughly 6000 steps and where they lived because there was hardly anything around. This was their new life together. I gathered that the steps took them to the town, and it was to make it easier for her to travel. These steps took him around 50years to make with just his bare hands. It's quite a moving story to show ones love for one another. She still lives in the same house they built together. Sadly the man died a couple of years ago but no doubt without regret and much happier.
