A token of love after 50 years

Weird Asia News reported a very touching love story about a unique couple in China:

Over 50 years ago, Liu, was a 19 years-old boy, fell in love with a 29 year-old widowed mother named Xu. At the time, it was unacceptable and immoral for a young man to love an older woman. To avoid the market gossips, the couple decided to elope and lived in a cave in Jiangjin County in Southern ChongQing area...Liu began, and continue for over 50 years, to hand carve the steps so that his wife could get down the mountain easily.

And the result is (hold your breath, everyone): a 6,000 step path in the mountain for the sake of Xu.

Aw...
