Nothing makes a relationship feel like it was simply meant to be more than a sense of fate. That is what Mr. Ye got a heavy dose of while rummaging through a box of his wife’s photos from nearly two decades ago, one of which has him in the background.
Back in July of 2000, Mr. Ye (only the couple’s surnames have been publicized) was part of a tour group that was visiting the city of Qingdao, in the Shandong Province. At the same time, Ms. Xue was touring the seaside city with her mother, who had recently undergone surgery and was in need of a vacation.
