Her Wu family was a famous family during the Republic of China period, and the family members included the Beiyang warlord Wu Peifu, the secretary general of the Presidential Office, Wu Dingchang, and so on. Although Wu Xiangdan was cared for and cared for by his family as soon as he was born, he was born with lung disease, so he was weak and sickly.
In order to treat Wu Xiangdan's illness, the Wu family searched for famous doctors in China, all helpless, and finally when Wu Xiangdan was about 12 years old, her father found a French doctor Pei Xiye to see her, which was the first time the two met. In the process of treating Wu Zhidan, the feelings between the two gradually warmed up, and Wu Zhidan's condition also began to improve.
Pei Xiye was originally a French doctor who came to China in the early years of the Republic of China as a medical officer of the French Embassy in China. After coming to China, Pei Xiye began to work hard for China's medical cause and lived in China for more than 40 years. When the July 7 Incident broke out, Pei Xiye did not choose to return to China for refuge, but instead devoted himself to medical treatment without hesitation, rescued Chinese civilians killed in the war, and the Chinese army, and made outstanding contributions to China's War of Resistance Against Japan.

After the relationship between the two became public, both Wu's father and Pei Xiye's children objected to the marriage and even severed their contact with them. Therefore, this marriage is a marriage that cannot be blessed by the family.
After the founding of New China, due to changes in policies and the requirements of the special situation, Pei Xiye had to return to France. As a result of receiving a concession from the top, Wu Also went to France with Pei Xiye.
