8. A Sweet Love Story

One of the most touching and purest love stories I’ve read.

From the very beginning, the girl’s family objected strongly to her dating this guy, saying that it has got to do with family background, and that the girl will have to suffer for the rest of her life if she were to be with him.

这是我看过的最动人、最纯洁的爱情故事。。。

从一开始，女孩家就强烈反对她与那个男孩交往，理由是他的家庭背景与女孩家相差太大，如果女孩跟了他，准会受一辈子苦。

Due to family’s pressure, the couple quarreled very often. Though the girl loved the guy deeply, she always asked him, “How deep is your love for me?”

几年后，男孩完成了学业，并决定去海外深造。临行前，他向女孩求婚：“我不太会说话，但我却知道我是真心爱你的。如果你愿意，我将用一生的时间来呵护你。至于你的家人，我会尽力说服他们的。你愿意嫁给我吗？”

女孩同意了，男孩的决心最终打动了女孩的家庭，他们同意了两人的婚事。因此在男孩出国前，两人订了婚。

The girl went out to the working society, whereas the guy was overseas, continuing his studies. They sent their
