A young American who refused to desert his paralyzed Chinese girlfriend and managed to stay in China to take care of her is a reminder that touching love stories can take place in the real world — not just in fiction.
Colin Pemp, a 28-year-old from Iowa, has been supporting Chen Yahuan, a 33-year-old woman from Guangxi, financially and psychologically for more than one year, since she was partially paralyzed in a traffic accident in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, in July 2008, according to a report in the Yangtse Evening Post.
The two first met at a party in 2005, while Pemp was an English teacher in Taiyuan, capital of Shanxi Province, and Chen was an employee with a local company.
They were drawn together by their common interests, including a love of traveling and sports.
They fell in love and moved to Suzhou in 2006, where Pemp went to Suzhou University to study Chinese so he could communicate better with Chen, who speaks little English.

Their life took a turn for the worse one night in July 2008, when Chen was knocked down by a vehicle.
Chen suffered severe brain damage and was in coma for more than a month. Pemp visited her in hospital every day, despite undertaking extra part-time jobs to pay Chen’s medical expenses, which came to 8,000 yuan (US$1,170) each day.
Chen regained consciousness one month later to find herself unable to use the left side of her body. Pemp managed to renew his visa, which had been about to expire, in order to stay with her.
“Life then was really hard,” Pemp told the Post. “My biggest wish is that she can walk again.”
In September last year, Pemp persuaded his parents to come from the United States to Suzhou to help him take care of Chen.
Chen’s situation is improving.
“He is such a nice guy and always thinks about my interests instead of his,” the woman said. “I love him so much. I hope I can recover so that I will not be a burden on him.”
This is a story about an American young man who fell in love with a Chinese lady. After several years, the lady was paralyzed in an accident. The American, who is not rich, has not deserted her, but has tried very hard to make money in order to cure her. He went through substantial hardship and the lady is now getting much better.
This is indeed one of the most touching love stories I have ever read. It is real, not a fiction!
I would have given the live dog a good home, by taking it home with me, to play with all the others I have. I also would have buried the dead one. I hope the other puppy was given a good home (and not for dinner).
Don't worry Don, People donn't eat this kind of dog, This kind of dog is kept as a pet.
