I heard over the radio today… a story that left me both heartened & disheartened at the same time.
A 92-year-old man had re-married a 85-year old woman in Taiwan. They were separated for over 60 years due to the war. After the war, the husband settled down in Taiwan while the wife was in China. They both went on to marry a second partner and start their own families, until both partners past away. It was in 1993 that the man found his ex-wife in China and brought her and her son to Taiwan to stay with him. The husband felt that he had not fulfilled his duties as a partner and vowed to re-marry the woman he had loved for so long.
It’s touching to see true love, even after 60 years of separation. So much can happen in 60 years. People change after 6 years, much less to say 60 years! Unwavering love… It’s a miracle it happens!
But I see the other side of the story too. Both the man and woman went on with their lives after the war. They found new partners, formed their own families and lived separated for 52 years. If the so-called "true love" had been in their hearts all along, isn’t it unfair to the second partner who actually lived with them for such a long time? Is there really space in one’s heart for more than one special person?
Is time a proof of one’s love? Or is time a test of love?
