Overview

  • Liu, a 27-year-old food courier in Shenyang, said he met Hannah Harris, a 30-year-old Alabama native teaching at a kindergarten, while delivering noodles to her building in November.
  • Struggling with English, Liu greeted her in the lift with “Hello, I love you,” which led them to exchange contact details and begin spending time together.
  • He proposed in January at an underground station with a diamond ring, telling Jimu News he felt she was the right person despite their short courtship.
  • They married two months later in Liu’s hometown, with Harris’s parents sending video blessings from the United States.
  • The couple say they use translation apps, are learning each other’s languages, and have drawn online attention after Liu shared their story, which also notes his rural background and lack of a house or car.
