Hope is a walking Dream….with love everything is possible.

An incredible love story has come out of China recently and managed to touch the world… It is a story of a man and an older woman who ran off to live and love each other in peace for over half a century.

The 70-year-old Chinese man who hand-carved over 6,000 stairs up a mountain for his wife has passed away in the cave which has been the couple’s home for the last 50 years. Over 50 years ago, Liu Guojiang a 19 year-old boy, fell in love with a 29 year-old widowed mother named Xu Chao in…

In a twist worthy of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, friends and relatives criticized the relationship because of the age difference and the fact that Xu already had children.

At that time, it was unacceptable and immoral for a young man to love an older woman.. To avoid the market gossip and the scorn of their communities,the couple decided to elope and lived in a cave in Jiangjin County in Southern ChongQing Municipality.

In the beginning, life was harsh as hey had nothing, no electricity or even food. They had to eat grass and roots they found in the mountain, and Liu made a kerosene lamp that they used to light up their lives.

Xu felt that she had tied Liu down and repeatedly asked him, ‘Are you regretful? Liu always replied, ‘As long as we are industrious, life will improve…’

In the second year of living in the mountain, Liu began and continued for over 50 years, to hand-carve the steps so that his wife could get down the mountain easily.

Half a century later in 2001, a group of adventurers were exploring the forest and were surprised to find the elderly couple and the over 6,000 hand-carved steps. Liu MingSheng, one of their seven children said, ‘My parents loved each other so much, they have lived in seclusion for over 50 years and never been apart a single day.

He hand carved more than 6,000 steps over the years for my mother’s convenience, although she doesn’t go down the mountain that much.’

The couple had lived in peace for over 50 years until last week. Liu, now 72 years, returned from his daily farm work and collapsed. Xu sat and prayed with her husband as he passed away in her arms. So in love with Xu, was Liu, that no one was able to release the grip he had on his wife’s hand even after he had passed away.

‘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?’

Xu spent days softly repeating this sentence and touching her husband’s black coffin with tears rolling down her cheeks.

In 2006, their story became one of the top 10 love stories from China , collected by the Chinese Women Weekly. The local government has decided to preserve the love ladder and the placed they lived as a museum. So, this love story can live forever.

This 80 year old woman was arrested for shop lifting.

When she went before the judge in Cincinnati he asked her,

“What did you steal?” She replied, “A can of peaches.”

The judge then asked her why she had stolen the can of peaches and she replied that she was hungry.

The judge then asked her how many peaches were in the can. She replied 6.

The judge then said, “I will then give you 6 days in jail.”

Before the judge could actually pronounce the punishment, the woman’s husband spoke up and asked the judge if he could say something. The judge said, “What is it?” The husband said, “She also stole a can of peas.”

FIVE RULES FOR MEN TO FOLLOW TO A HAPPY LIFE:

1. It’s important to have a woman, who helps at home, who cooks from time to time, cleans up and has a job.

2. It’s important to have a woman, who can make you laugh.

3. It’s important to have a woman, whom you can trust and who doesn’t lie to you.

4. It’s important to have a woman, who is good in bed and who likes to be in it with you.

5. It’s very, very important that these four women do not know each other.

A couple drove down a country road for several miles,
not saying a word.
An earlier discussion had led to an argument and
neither of them wanted to
concede their position.
As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs,
the husband asked
sarcastically, “Relatives of yours?”
“Yep,” the wife replied, “In-laws.”

WORDS
A husband read an article to his wife about how many
words women use a
day… 30,000 to a man’s 15,000.
The wife replied, “The reason has to be because we
have to repeat everything
to men…
The husband then turned to his wife and asked, “What?”

CREATION
A man said to his wife one day, “I don’t know how you
can be so stupid and
so beautiful all at the same time.
“The wife responded, “Allow me to explain. God made
me beautiful so you
would be attracted to me; God made me stupid so I
would be attracted to you!

WHO DOES WHAT
A man and his wife were having an argument about who
should brew the coffee
each morning.
The wife said, “You should do it, because you get up
first, and then we
don’t have to wait as long to get our coffee.”
The husband said, “You are in charge of cooking around
here and you should
do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait
for my coffee.”
Wife replies, “No, you should do it, and besides, it
is in the Bible that
the man should do the coffee.”
Husband replies, “I can’t believe that, show me.”
So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament
and showed him at the
top of several pages that it indeed says……….
“HEBREWS”

The Silent Treatment
A man and his wife were having some problems at home
and were giving each
other the silent treatment.
Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would
need his wife to wake
him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight.
Not wanting to be the
first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a
piece of paper, “Please
wake me at 5:00 AM.” He left it where he knew she
would find it.
The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it
was 9:00 AM and he
had missed his flight.
Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife
hadn’t wakened him, when he
noticed a piece of paper by the bed.
The paper said, “It is 5:00 AM. Wake up.”

Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.
God may have created man before woman, but there is
always a rough draft
Before the masterpiece.

SEND THIS TO SMART WOMEN WHO NEED A LAUGH AND TO MEN
YOU THINK CAN HANDLE IT

One of those chain letter types where we don’t really understand the idea of “threatening” someone for not doing what it says- forwarding it to an x number of people to spread the scare! We’ve been dead over a hundred times if we believed the consequence of any of the chain letters we received over the course of our lives. We’ve had suffered though bad luck after bad luck for not following any of the things it says. It’s absolute silliness!

It’s been around since we were kids- only then it was different; they were either mailed directly to you by post or left in pews in churches or sneaked in books in the library or just scattered anywhere in a public area. Now there’s emailing, it’s still around… with the immediacy of the internet, sending it is hassle-free- just one click of a button: send to all!

We say caveat to this!

This is without a doubt one of the nicest good luck forwards I have received. Hope it works for you — and me!
