A 53-year-old China painter married a 24-year-old African girl for love. Nine years later, are they still happy?

Since ancient times, marriage has been the ultimate dream of many people. "Zheng Feng Guofeng Female Crow" wrote: "It is appropriate to talk about drinking and grow old with your son. The harp and harp are in the imperial palace, so they are all quiet. " With the development of economy, people's minds are becoming more and more open, and there are more and more transnational love affairs. Yang Yan is one of them. However, what makes him different from many transnational relations is the age gap between him and his wife.

Yang Yan, born in 1958, was originally named Yan Ning. He showed a talent for painting since he was a child, and he painted with his uncle when he was 6 years old. At the age of 65,438+00, he studied under famous painters such as Hua Tuo. His works, such as Yang Yan's collection of paintings and calligraphy, have always been deeply loved by the public. Out of the pursuit of art, and in order to have higher attainments in painting and calligraphy, Yang Yan chose to visit all over the country, hoping to get some inspiration from it. At the age of 53, Yang Yan was visiting Africa. However, what Yang Yan never expected was that during his stay in Africa, he met his wife who wanted to be together for life.

Yang Yan, a stranger in Africa, needs a tour guide to help him introduce the local culture and customs. Just then, someone recommended Ada, an African girl, to him. Ada is very beautiful, and she is very good at both Chinese and English, which is what Yang Yan likes. As Yang Yan's guide, Ada takes him to taste local food and experience local customs every day. They get along day and night, but they get along well.

In this day of getting along with each other, Yang Yan felt unprecedented happiness, and Ada's vitality deeply attracted him and gave him more inspiration. Unconsciously, he found himself in love with this girl who loves to laugh. But he also knows the age gap between the two people, and he is struggling in his heart, but the love in his heart still allows him to convince himself successfully. He feels that he must express himself bravely, so that even if he is rejected, he will not regret it, nor will he leave any regrets.

Finally, he got up the courage to express his love to Ada. Ada was shocked after hearing this. She never thought that there would be sparks between them, let alone that Yang Yan, as an artist, would fall in love with herself. Although they had a good time together and Ada appreciated his paintings, Ada never thought about it.

Ida didn't express her thoughts immediately, but told her parents about it as soon as she got home. She wants her parents to give her some advice from an experienced person. Parents are very liberal. They told their daughter that age is not the most important issue, it depends on your own mind and parents will support your decision. Ada thought calmly for a few days, recalled the dribs and drabs that happened between the two people these days, and felt that living with Yang Yan was also very happy. So Ada accepted Yang Yan, and they got married in the local area under the witness of relatives and friends.

Later, Yang Yan's trip to Africa came to an end, and Ada followed Yang Yan to China. 20 1 1 101October 30th, they held a Chinese wedding in China. Ada, who has always wanted to learn the profound culture of China, has shown great interest since coming to China. We often say that interest is the best teacher. Before long, Ada learned to sing China songs, pour tea and draw with a brush. Not only that, Ada also showed her personal thoughts and characteristics in her paintings.

However, in China, their combination was not optimistic at first. On the one hand, there are differences in culture and living habits, on the other hand, the age gap is too big, with a difference of 29 years. People often say: there is a generation gap of 3 years old and a gap of 5 years old. The generation gap is easy to cause contradictions. However, both of them are indifferent to these public opinions, but choose to prove them with practical actions, so that those who questioned them before are speechless. Because of their common interests and hobbies, the two have become more and more tacit, and Ada often follows Yang Yan to attend public activities.

In the second year after marriage, Yang Yan and Ada had a child, and the three were happy. They also attended the Spring Festival Gala together, which made the national audience witness their happiness. Today, their marriage is still very happy. Although Yang Yan is old, she is young and open-minded. He keeps exercising every day, and they get along as usual.

The love story of Yang Yan and his wife shows that it is never because of the differences of foreign cultures or the age gap, but because of the mode of getting along with each other, whether they are willing to understand each other or not, and whether they have a tacit understanding. There are many cross-border loves, just like Wang Leehom, a talented person from Tsinghua, who married in Africa and won the respect of the local people by her own talent and charm. Therefore, marriage needs two people to manage together, so don't forget her active attitude, so as to achieve the ultimate goal.
