In 1951, 16-year-old Liu met 26-year-old Xu Chaoqing and fell in love. She was a widow with four children and in the remote village at that time it was taboo for a man to marry an older woman, let alone a widow.

However, Liu had made up his mind and the whole family moved to a secluded house in the mountains, so as to avoid criticism and discrimination from villagers.
