Thousands of miles away, they were introduced and began to communicate.
The first letter was written in the middle of summer, male to female.
In addition to self-reporting, first reveal the political identity - party member, and then the personality, talent display - Xi Jing rarely speaks, loves to play the accordion, and so on.
In the 1950s, not much to say was an advantage.
The girl felt that the boy's conditions were OK, so she replied to the letter and returned the photo to show her sincerity.
Their praise for the other party will not be directly said, but only expressed by "learning from you". Both sides have a good feeling for each other, just on the paper you learn me, I learn from you.
The young man replied to the letter, specifically mentioning that it is enough to write a surname on the envelope, not to write the full name.
He is pursuing progress, and although he is 28 years old, he still does not want to talk about love.
More than a month later, their letters have been typed back and forth 4 times.
The young man offered to return to the south to visit her relatives in the autumn, when he would visit her.
The young man came to the girl's hometown as promised, a small town in Zhejiang.
It rained for 3 days, the boy had been hiding in the room reading, and the girl had been helping the cook by her mother's side.

Afterwards, the young man said in the letter: "I feel that we are much more familiar than when we did not meet. ”
The girl's reply was: "It is very beneficial to the development and consolidation of our friendship in the future." ”
For 3 days, the two men did not even pull their hands together.
After that, I wrote letters again, back and forth, without interruption. In half a year, more than 40 letters added up.
In the blink of an eye to the Spring Festival, the girl implicitly expressed on the letter paper: "A childish heart of hers seems to have been dedicated to him." ”
After the young man received the letter, he wrote back to the girl to explain who "she" and "he" were referring to. The girl did not say a word in the letter. The boy didn't ask again...
Such a love game is very different from the shortcuts of "husband" and "wife" at present.
On the first anniversary of the two people's correspondence, in the 100th letter, the young man finally confessed, and recorded the following:
"My dear, I feel that I have fallen deeply in love with you, and this is expressed to you after special careful consideration. I swear to you that I have never expressed it to other female comrades, and I will not express it to other female comrades in the future. Believe in the moral character of a Communist Party member. ”
Time has passed, and now they are a loving old couple.
Is it costly to have a relationship? 100 letters, 8 cents a stamp, a total of 8 dollars.
Is it cheap to talk about a relationship? Never low, it bet on a lifetime.
At the age of 27, I witnessed the whole process of a country getting out of control
