She is an ordinary Chinese girl, he is a Noble Blood Belgian Prince, because of a chance encounter, they met, knew each other, fell in love, and achieved a fairy tale love like "Cinderella and the Prince".
Although the gap between this marriage is huge, it has not been reduced to a chicken feather under the impact of reality, but the romance continues to this day.
One day in May 2009, Paris, france, the romantic capital full of sweet factors, was accompanied by a welcome, and a young man in a suit and leather shoes with long hair tied behind his head walked into the Fendi store. Immediately after, a shopping guide greeted her, smiled and said, "Hello, I will serve you."
The man is Prince Charles from Belgium, and the shopping guide is undoubtedly Li Ran, who is working at Fendi. It was his first meeting with her, without any romantic elements, very unremarkable. But in the following exchanges, the two developed a strong interest in each other.
In fact, when he went to the Fenti store that day, Charles did not go to consume as a customer, but planned to conduct market research as a designer of the Fendi brand.
After learning about Charles's identity (Belgian) and his intentions, Li Ran seemed very happy and enthusiastic, and she immediately changed into fluent French and began to tell Charles in detail about each item and their sales. On that day, Li Ran and Charles had in-depth and extensive exchanges on design, aesthetics, market preferences and other contents, and talked very happily.
Although they are not like idol dramas, they are determined to live a lifelong, to a sparkling love scene at first sight. But after the separation, Li Ran's confident and generous conversation temperament and gentle and bright smile frequently appeared in Charles's mind. To borrow Sima Xiangru's "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" to describe: "There is a beautiful person who never forgets." A day is not seen, and the thoughts are like madness."
Compared with the introverted and implicit Chinese in feelings, Westerners are explicit and straightforward in their emotional expression. Charles clearly understood that he had a strong interest and affection for the Chinese girl who had only one side. Therefore, he quickly launched a love offensive against Li Ran.
After a period of contact and understanding, Li Ran found that Charles was not only handsome and gentlemanly, but also a gentle and powerful person in his bones. Charles never showed off or relied on his origins and family, he was independent, autonomous, self-motivated, had his own career and dreams, and had many of the same interests and common topics as her.
The most important thing is that in the West, where racial discrimination is relatively serious, Charles not only has three views, but also especially likes Chinese culture. This can be seen from the fact that he will choose to settle in China with Li Ran in the future.
In this way, the sympathetic Charles and Li Ran quickly established a romantic relationship and opened it to friends and relatives. However, for the love affair between the two, most people are very unoptimistic. First, transnational love is already facing many problems such as ethnicity, living habits, and religious beliefs. Second, the differences in the family backgrounds of Charles and Li Ran are too large.
Li Ran was born in 1984 in Wuhua County, Meizhou City, Guangdong Province, to parents who were ordinary workers, and the family could only be said to have no worries about eating and wearing. Charles, on the other hand, is three years older than Li Ran and is a prince of the Belgian royal family. It should be noted that although the branches of the European royal aristocracy have been spread out for hundreds of thousands of years, they are not so much gold-rich. But Charles's Family of Ligne is one of the oldest and most honorable families in the entire Belgian royal family.
Belgium, like the United States, is a country that was first occupied by aggression and then gradually developed and established a state. As early as 51 BC, after Julius Caesar led a large army to conquer the indigenous Celts, what is now Belgium became the province of Bergica of the Roman Empire, which is also the beginning of the ancient history and civilization history of Belgium.
For nearly 2,000 years, Belgium has successively fought between the Empires of France, Austria, Spain, and the Netherlands, but the Longest and Deepest Control is the Holy Roman Empire. The Family of Lygna, or Prince of Lygne, was a royal title that was personally canonized by the Pope in the 11th century. Moreover, the Ligne family is not the kind of royal nobility with a false name, and there have been many "Marshals of the Holy Roman Empire" such as Prince Charles Joseph de Ligne and other powerful people in their families.

In other words, although Charles's Family of Lignes is not the orthodox Belgian royal family today. But if we really talk about the so-called lineage and origin, the status and honor of the Ligne family is no less than that of the orthodox Royal Leopold family, which came to power after the official establishment of Belgium in 1830.
As we all know, the traditional Chinese concept of marriage has always been about the right door. Even if feudal society has long ended, most people still believe that if the difference in the family background and growth environment of two people is too large, there will be more or less differences in their outlook on life and values. Although everyone is convinced that love can overcome everything when they are in love, when the passion is dissipated, these practical problems are likely to devastate the marriage.
Moreover, compared with China, the European royal family has more stringent requirements for door-to-door. In the Middle Ages, in order to ensure the "purity" of royal blood, European royal families usually married between nobles, and from time to time there were cases of close relatives marrying. For example, the famous Queen Victoria of England, she married her cousin Prince Albert, the two were closely related by blood, and their mother was a half-brother and sister.

In short, due to the disparity in identity, background gap, and the influence of traditional concepts, the relationship between the two has been opposed and sung by people around them. Even some self-respecting members of the royal family even taunted Li Ran's yin and yang in a strange way. But as a result, everyone can see that Charles and Li Ran not only got married smoothly on November 20, 2010, but their married life is still sweet and happy.
And the reason why they will break the spell and create a fairytale happy ending, half of it comes from Li Ran's excellence, and the other half is due to Charles's gentleness.
Although Li Ran came from an ordinary background, she is recognized as an excellent girl with all-round development of morality, intellect, body and beauty. From childhood to adulthood, Li Ran's achievements have always been among the best. In addition to his good cultural achievements, Li Ran also used his spare time to get the piano grade ten certificate early. According to the recollection of one of her high school classmates, Li Ran never talked about her piano skills in person, until a music lesson activity, Li Ran walked to the piano and shook the audience with a song.
In 2006, Li Ran was admitted to Beijing Language and Culture University with excellent results, majoring in finance, and went to France to study after graduation. During his studies, Li Ran first studied french Chinese and civilization at the Sorbonne University in Paris, and then obtained an MBA (Master of Business Administration) degree from the Ecole Supérieure des Hautes des Beaux-Arts in Luxury Marketing and Management.
In terms of personality quality, Li Ran is independent, optimistic and self-motivated, gentle and generous, active and persistent, and the standard IQ and emotional intelligence are both high. Although Li Ran's appearance is not outstanding, under the blessing of temperament and connotation, it is full of charm between hands and feet. It is no exaggeration to say that it is difficult for anyone who has in-depth communication with Li Ran not to feel good about her.
Let's take a very simple example. When Li Ran finished his studies and went to Fendi for an interview, the store manager was very unoptimistic about Li Ran because of his preconceived prejudice against Asians. However, after a short trial post, Li Ran's rich professional knowledge and generous and natural conversation completely conquered the store manager, thus laying the groundwork for the encounter between Li Ran and Charles.
After the two fell in love, Charles often took Li Ran to royal gatherings. Over time, Li Ran, who was not humble and elegant and confident, was recognized by the members of the Charles family in a subtle way. And Li Ran's parents are extremely satisfied with Charles's son-in-law, because Charles has made many unimaginable concessions for Li Ran.
First, in the religious west, as a devout Catholic, Charles decisively gave up the traditional religious ceremony of receiving Mass and blessings in the church, and the white wedding dress, which symbolized purity. The two just held a low-key and simple marriage, and at the wedding, Li Ran also wore a Chinese red wedding dress specially designed by someone.
Secondly, due to Chinese strong local feelings, Li Ran was not willing to stay in Belgium to settle down, and foreign marriages were obviously unreliable. Out of love and importance for Li Ran, Charles finally decided to give up his career in Belgium and the princely authority, and the female singer came to Settle in China with Li Ran.
In this way, Charles and Li Ran broke through all the obstacles of the state, religion, origin, relatives and friends, etc., and after a year and a half of acquaintance, they married happily and entered the palace of marriage. At this point, Li Ran, a girl in Guangzhou, became the first Chinese princess in European history and the first Asian princess.
In 2012, Li Ran gave birth to the crystallization of their love, a mixed-race little prince named Amadeo. After that, the family of three came to Shanghai to settle down. Of course, their life in China is the same as their personality, capitalized low-key. They have turned down all media interview invitations and rarely appear in public.
The news known at present is that Li Ran has achieved a double harvest of love and career, and is working as a director of a luxury company. Charles, on the other hand, studied Chinese culture in depth, not only greatly improving the level of Chinese, but also developing a strong interest in freehand painting in Chinese painting. During the National Day in 2013, Charles's paintings were also exhibited at the Penglai Calligraphy and Painting Research Institute in West Lake, a true Chinese son-in-law.
People who do not know their love story may think that Li Ran is a Cinderella who flew up the branches and turned into a phoenix, and was the lucky one chosen by heaven to be able to get the favor of the prince. But in fact, they are really evenly matched. Li Ran is talented, generous and confident, gentle and powerful, and she is deeply attracted to Charles, and it is enough to match him.
In addition to Li Ran, Princess Kate of the United Kingdom, who is also the "Royal Cinderella", and Lin Xiaojing, the wife of the "first countess of China" and the countess of Ireland, Baupert. Although they come from ordinary backgrounds, they are all excellent and attractive.
Therefore, whether it is a girl or a boy, they must strive to improve themselves from all aspects such as knowledge and skills, character and morality. As long as you are good enough, you can wait until the other half is excellent, of course, I can also be beautiful.
