Love of martial arts leads to marital bliss for French woman and her Chinese beau
Wife is so impressed with her lover’s mastery of wushu she takes lessons in the discipline from his mother
A French woman said her Chinese husband might not be the most romantic man in the world, but his passion for martial arts impressed her so much she decided to take it up herself, according to mainland Chinese media.
The 26-year-old, identified only as Pauline, met 27-year-old Sun Renzhi at a Chinese culture exhibition in Paris in 2012 where he was performing a martial arts, or wushu, routine, the Yangzhou-based Jiangdu Daily reported.
Sun, who hails from Yangzhou, a city in eastern China’s Jiangsu province, was a student at a business school in the city at the time, it said.
The couple’s story came to the attention of the Chinese media after it was featured in a video produced by a Chinese blogger living in Paris, which is where Pauline and Sun also now call home.
After graduating in 2013, Sun decided to return to China, and Pauline went with him.
