A pair of adolescent lovers in Hubei Province didn't manage to get together until 54 years after they separated, both of them now in their seventies, Chutian Metropolis Daily reported.

Zhao Fang and Li Yi met in middle school, but neither openly expressed their affection much owing to shyness. Later they progressed in their own separate life journey, and almost forgot each other until in 2008, when Zhao's image on TV again stirred Li's affection.

Soon afterwards, Li, who suffered grief over wife's death, learnt Zhao was also a widow. Li's proposal to form a family with Zhao was recently accepted, with the blessings from their children.

據《楚天都市報》報道，湖北一對青梅竹馬的戀人分離54年后重新牽手，此時他們都已有70多的高齡。

趙芳女士和李義先生在中學階段相識，但因為害羞，互相都沒有表達愛意。后來他們在各自的人生軌跡上前進，基本忘記了對方。直到2008年，趙芳在電視上出現，再次挑動了李義的心弦。

不久之后，李義的妻子逝世，他了解到趙芳也已經一個人生活。李義提出重新組建家庭的想法得到了趙芳的同意。雙方的孩子也對此表示了祝福。
