In a dramatic twist of events, Hong Kong pop idol Andy Lau has agreed to marry a 28-year-old woman from Lanzhou who embarked on a cross-country love chase that left no stone unturned and no father alive.
A week ago, Yang Lijuan, accompanied by her parents, journeyed to Hong Kong to meet the man who had been in her dreams for 13 years. After meeting and taking photos with the 45-year-old star, Yang's father jumped into the Victoria Harbour after Lau refused a one-on-one rendezvous with her daughter.
Last year, mainland media reported that the elder Yang had sold his house and a kidney to finance his daughter's obsession with the Hong Kong singer and actor. She claimed that they were destined to be together because she had repeatedly got divine guidance that she would be his eventually.
Even after her father's suicide, Yang Lijuan insists that her number one priority is a personal tryst with Lau.
According to a statement released by Lau's agency, Lau spent the past week contemplating his life philosophy and praying for the Yang family. In the end, he concludes that love like Yang's comes only once in a lifetime. He is so touched that he has decided to marry her.
The fairy tale ending has brought boundless joy to Yang and her mother. "My father did not die in vain. He is smiling in heaven now. He'll be happy for me and for Andy. He told me in a dream last night that our marriage will last until the sea is dry and the stone is rotten," she is quoted by a Chinese-language newspaper.
Andy Lau's proposal has also given new hope to the celebrity-adoring crowd in China, known as fensi, a transliteration of "fans". Yu Mi, a young man in Beijing, is ready to profess his love for Super Girl Li Yuchun, maintaining that he would wait for her for 100 years. Yu's sister, also a fan, forestalled her brother's proposal by issuing her own. She said she would woo Li Yuchun for 1,000 years. She loves Li 1,000 times more than her brother does, she added.
"This shows that if your love is strong enough, it can move heaven and earth. Not only are the young inspired by this incredible love story, but people of our generation are moved to tears. In a world of mundane pursuits, we still have hope and true love. Everyone should learn from Yang Lijuan and follow your dreams to the end of the earth. Don't give up!" advised Shen Jingbing, a psychologist at China Juvenile Counseling Association.
Andy Lau and Yang Lijuan are set to walk into the hall of holy matrimony on July 1.
[EDIT:] ok... after reading the title and date of this article again... Looks like this is Chapter 3 of Dummy's Guide to April Fool's Day 2007. Article was dated April 1 2007... Must be a joke. :)
