Man Carves Wife a 6,000 Stair Path in Mountain
Mr. Onion came across an amazing, almost unbelievable love story from China. Over 50 years ago, Liu, a 19 year-old boy, fell in love with a 29 year-old widowed mother named Xu. At the time, it was unacceptable and immoral for a young man to love an older woman. The couple ran off to live and love each other in peace for over half century.
Liu spent the next 50 years carving, by hand, over 6,000 steps so his wife could get down the mountain more easily. Sadly, Liu recently passed away, but the story has touched so many lives that the local government has decided to preserve the “love ladder” and the place they lived as a museum, so this love story can live forever.

This is an extraordinary story, but have you or your significant other ever done anything amazing for each other just to make the other’s life easier or happier? What sacrifices have you made for each other? Maybe moved so the other could pursue a degree or a job?

What a great story!!! Mr. Onion sends you the best stuff 
Moved to America from England so that we could be together
That’s a wonderful story. Mr. Jasmine and I have both made a lot of sacrifices to be with each other, but they were completely worth it
omg, what a sweet story!
i moved from southern california to central oregon because my husband was offered what is essentially his dream job. it meant that i wouldn’t be able to go to grad school at pepperdine, but hey, it’s worth it knowing that he’s doing what he loves and knows. grad school at pepperdine might not ever happen for me, but let’s be real, it’s not like quality schools are particularly hard to find!
Very touching! Thanks for sharing!
Sitting here wiping tears from my eyes after reading article “You promised me you’ll take care of me, you’ll always be with me until the day I died, now you left before me, how am I going to live without you?”!!!!
Oh, what a sweet story. I will now pass this to Mr. Apple to read….kekekeke..
i’m welling up with trears over here at work. such a sweet sroy. but did you read the other weird asia news about the woman who flushed her baby down the toilet by accident? weird for sure!
I’m so sad…then I read he died in her arms and I’m even sadder.
