Although his family tried to introduce him to many girls, he was not interested until he met the 29-year-old Aida, an international student from Africa.

Even after marriage, they have been living together and are so in love and also have children of their own. Yang and Aida’s story is evidence of the fact that true love still exists and it is not dependent on race, age, and other differences.
