An old couple from Yibin of Sichuan Province have been married for 91 years
and have 50 children and grandchildren in their family.
Liu Zhenglan, the 101-year-old wife, got married to Gao Boen at the age of 10
as a child bride when her husband was only 2-years-old. (Child brides were
common in feudal China.) Since then, they have lived together for 91 years,
treating each other with respect.
One of their great hopes is to apply for the world's longest marriage in the
Guinness World Records, they say.
