You've Been Gone Seventy Years Husband. What Took You So Long She Said. I'm Sorry I'm Late He Said...

You've been gone for seventy years husband, what took you so long were the first words Zhang Suiyi said to her ninety four year old husband Pan Zhishan after a lifetime of being apart.
I'm sorry I'm late he said with a smile on his face.
And then they hugged and the love they had for each other all those years ago was re-ignited.
It wasn't as if Pan had gone down to the corner store for a loaf of bread or a bottle of milk.
He was torn from his new wife by war when Japanese forces invaded south eastern China.
Pan survived the war and then life and its complexities intervened. He was ordered back to his parents' home in China's Zhejiang Province where an arranged marriage awaited him.
Despite both coming from traditional Chinese families and being forbidden to marry without parental consent the two young lovers went ahead before he went to war and married, determined to snatch what joy they could.
Pan never knew Zang was pregnant.
She had never been out of his thoughts and recently an internet campaign by local media brought the two together for the traditional Qixi Festival, China's Valentines Day Celebration.
A beautiful love story isn't it.
Brings tears to the eyes...

A Tibetan Mastiff Puppy Sells In China For Two Million Dollars...

The puppy on the left, a one year old golden haired Tibetan Mastiff puppy was bought recently for twelve million yuan or nearly two million dollars at a 'luxury pet fair' in China's Eastern Province of Zhejiang.
By a Chinese property developer.
The puppy on the right, I'm sure you've noticed, is a much inferior puppy and sold for only
six million yuan.
The dog's breeder, Zang Gengyum explains these dogs are very rare, just like China's nationally treasured Pandas, which makes
the prices so high.
And that the mastiffs have become prized status symbols among China's wealthy for their lion-esque looks and enormous bodies. Descendants of dogs used for hunting by nomadic tribes in central Asia and Tibet the breed are fiercely loyal and protective.
I must remember to get one when I'm next
near a pet shop.
How much is that puppy in the window...

This Elderly Chinese Couple Are Freedom Camping In The Middle Of The Motorway...

It wasn't always like this. Duck farmer Luo Baogen and his wife have been living in their house in China's city of Wenling in Zhejiang Province for a long time, and the authorities have built the motorway around the elderly couple's home.
Because they've had to.
It's not that Luo and his wife enjoy living in the fast lane, but they refuse to leave until the government pays them a more generous amount to move.
And the couple are within their rights under The Republic of China's new laws making it illegal to demolish a property without a mutual agreement.
Power to The Little People...
Update. December 1 at 7.45 pm.
The house has now been demolished after Luo and his wife agreed to a compensation offer of 260,000 yuan.
