Loving and Leaving a “Pea-sized Princess”

Posted by Bill Belew on March 19th, 2007 in All about China | No Comments

The little woman, very little woman, was called the 'Pea Princess.'

She is just 1.28 meters tall…barely 4'2".

Still, she found a lover and a husband, 1.70 meters, (5' 7")

And they were married and lived happily ever, well maybe not happily at all, for less than a month.

The dude left her a message, "I'm leaving and do not try to search for me because it's meaningless."

He's been missing for 20 days.

The new husband's mother offered words of encouragement – saying it was the new bride's fault.  Couldn't be her son's fault.

Chinese law will allow the little princess to apply for a divorce if her husband remains AWOL for two years.

Life does not always have happy endings …especially in Chinese stories…in real life, too.

When is it acceptable for a partner to give up on a marriage?
