74-year-old veteran Hong Kong actor Li Longji appeared at the prison gates on the 7th, holding 60 roses, just to welcome his fiancée Wang Qingxia—36 years his junior—upon her release from prison. As soon as he saw her, he was so emotional that he burst into tears and shouted, “Wife! Wife!” displaying immense affection.
Last year, Wang Qingxia was sentenced to 2 years and 1 month in prison for seven crimes, including overstaying her visa and using false documents, and has finally been released after serving her time. Throughout this period, Li Longji remained devoted, frequently visiting her in prison. He even revealed in a program, with tears in his eyes, “She wrote me 410 love letters while in prison,” the letters expressing deep love and guilt, keeping their bond alive through words. Li Longji further disclosed that he had already successfully proposed, and the two agreed to register their marriage once Wang Qingxia was released.
Their relationship has long been subject to public doubt, but Li Longji has proven with his actions that 'true love fears no storm.' On a program, he once confessed to Wang Qingxia, “What she fears most inside is that I won’t wait for her.” Now, having finally waited for Wang Qingxia’s parole and release, the two are about to fulfill their promise to walk into marriage together.
