Introduction to Love Ladder: In the 1950s, Liu Guojiang, a villager in Zhongshan Ancient Town in his 20s, fell in love with Xu Chaoqing, a "pretty widow" who was 10 years older than him. In order to avoid rumors from the world, they eloped hand in hand to the deep mountains and forests at an altitude of 1,500 meters. They were self-reliant and raised seven children with their own hands. In order to ensure the safety of Xu Chaoqing's travels, Liu Guojiang spent his whole life busy building stone ladders on the cliffs to lead to the outside world. Until his death, he had built more than 6,000 stone ladders, which were called the "Ladders of Love." In 2007, Mr. Liu Guojiang passed away; in 2012, Mr. Xu Chaoqing passed away. According to her wishes, she was buried next to Liu Guojiang. Although this unique love died with the old man Xu Chaoqing, this legendary love story will always remain for people to recall.
