Gu Mozhen was fifty-five years old this year, and his wife, Yu Wanqing, was ten years his junior.
Twenty years ago, when he met Yu Wanqing in that distant Jiangnan Water Village, Gu Mozhen was at the pinnacle of his life.
He was the man in charge of Hua Sheng, a top family business in America, and a Chinese entrepreneur ranked among the foremost on the Forbes list.
After the death of his first wife due to illness, Gu Mozhen met Yu Wanqing while traveling to China, and subsequently, the two fell in love.
By middle age, emotions aren't as impulsive as when one is young, but upon meeting the twenty-five-year-old Yu Wanqing, Gu Mozhen felt that he had truly been young once more.
The two quickly fell in love.
Unable to stay in China for too long, urged by countless transoceanic phone calls, Gu Mozhen boarded the plane back to America, and that parting lasted more than two years.
