Chinese netizens are buzzing over the recent incident of a young man proposing to his girlfriend, who is 37 years his senior, live on television. Specifically, during a show focused on “romantic relationships,” the 28-year-old confidently expressed his feelings for his “significant other,” despite the two belonging to different generations. It is known that the young man wanted to use the show to reconnect with the woman he has deep memories with, referred to by the nickname Lao Can. This person left him without saying goodbye, which made him even more nostalgic.
The situation would not be noteworthy if the viewers did not know the actual age of the woman nicknamed Lao Can. Accordingly, Lao Can has gone through 65 springs this year. According to the young man’s sharing, the two have become soulmates. When he was heartbroken and feeling down, it was the 65-year-old woman who was there to share, encourage, and even save him in times of crisis. As Lao Can has been divorced from her ex-husband for 15 years, the young “pilot” is determined to pursue a relationship with his older friend until the end of their lives.
Speaking about the woman who is over 60, the young man commented:
“She has been divorced for 15 years… She gives me a feeling of joy and warmth that younger girls cannot provide. I gradually fell in love with her. I don’t want to call her ‘aunt’ anymore. I want to call her ‘wife.'”
The young man shared that he had proposed multiple times but was always rejected. Furthermore, although they had taken wedding photos together, Lao Can suddenly left. Therefore, he decided to go on television to prepare for the proposal. On live television, the 65-year-old woman shared that the reason she left four times was due to fear of public gossip and wanting to end the relationship with the young pilot. The elderly woman also expressed regret for having taken wedding photos with him.
To convince his soulmate to return to him, the young man prepared a special video showcasing a peaceful home with a surrounding fence to avoid prying eyes. Perhaps he wanted to convey to the woman he loves that they can enjoy a happy and carefree life without worrying about gossip. Additionally, he also “invested” in a long letter expressing gratitude, love, and hope for their future together.
However, the 65-year-old woman still refused but confirmed that they would continue to maintain their soulmate relationship. Both of them are always trying to be good friends forever.
