In 2011, the couple Guo and Weng broke up because the guy couldn’t pay the wedding challenge. However, 10 years later, they accidentally met and got married.
This fateful story was shared on Douyin by Weng and attracted the Chinese online community, quickly becoming a topic of great interest. Many people liken this couple’s meeting as a “miracle predestined relationship”.
Weng and Guo are married and live with the other half’s children.
Weng shared that she was very surprised to see her ex-lover who broke up 10 years ago. At this meeting, both were divorced and had their own children. Weng has two children with her previous husband and Guo is also taking care of two children alone.
More than 10 years ago, Weng and Guo met by chance, the two immediately fell in love with each other and quickly became lovers. Guo is the first love of a girl named Weng.
After loving each other for a while, the two considered getting married.

The couple was forced to separate because they did not get consent from adults.
The wedding challenge or “bride price” is a cash amount, including the bride price, that the groom’s family must pay to the bride’s family when they want to marry their daughter back. In China, wedding favors are getting higher and higher due to the large disparity in the sex ratio between men and women.

A popular Chinese matchmaking website has reported that 80% of single men say the amount of the wedding challenge is too high for them to get married.
In mid-2013, a map of wedding challenge prices in major cities was first published by Sina newspaper. According to the data, Shanghai is the city with the highest amount of money for a wedding. To get a wife in this city, the groom must spend at least 100,000 yuan ($14,900), plus a house.

“We tried talking to each other again, the days apart from each other, both of our lives were not smooth. We tried texting each other to find empathy.” Weng said. 2 people meet in the most difficult times. Weng is in debt, and Guo is unemployed due to a work accident and has to work as a taxi driver.
Weng shared, the two people came together partly because they wanted the children to have a complete family.

Guo’s wife left when the two children were very young, they liked to be near Weng because of the mother’s love:
“We’ve only met a few times, and we’ve already called me mom. It’s just fate that my daughter Guo and my daughter were born on the same day and month, even though they’re two years apart.” Weng said.
