Xiao Fang’s relationship with 80-year-old Li sparks family outrage over massive age gap. The 23-year-old volunteer met Li at a nursing home in Hebei, China. They bonded quickly over shared hobbies and interests. Despite a 57-year age difference, they fell in love and started dating.
Xiao Fang’s parents rejected the relationship. They argued the age gap made them incompatible and warned Li might be exploiting her. Xiao Fang faced tough family backlash but chose love over approval. She cut ties with her parents and married Li in a low-key ceremony in their hometown.
Now married, the couple enjoys simple daily life—walking, chores, and companionship. Li’s health began declining in 2024. Xiao Fang took on caretaking and managing their finances.
The story went viral on Chinese social media. Some accuse Xiao Fang of hidden motives. Others praise their love transcending age. The couple stands firm amid ongoing controversy.
“Despite family objections, Xiao Fang and Li chose to marry and build their life together.”
Their unusual romance continues to divide opinion as the couple navigates challenges ahead.
