I have been married to my wife for four years and we have known each other for six years.
We always respect each other and we also did some interesting things in the past six years.

For example, on December 21st (twenty-first) 2012, the day that was called the end of the world by prophets, we planned a two-day trip to Suzhou for a good time.

We rented a car from Shanghai to go there, and that was the first time for me to drive a car after getting my license, but everything in the trip was good and smooth for us.

When we finished the trip, the end of the world didn’t come, but it still became a precious moment in our mind. I thought it was interesting.
