Till Death Do Us Part
by Tangstory
Description:
Set in early-20th century China, this story takes off in the port city of Tientsin (Tianjin) that is divided into lands called concessions and owned by several foreign powers. Shen Liangsheng is a charismatic and cunning playboy, a son of a rich businessman, who has profits as his top priority. He meets Ch’in Ching, an average school teacher who appears mild but actually holds a patriotic heart for his home. The two cross paths and sparks fly. But will their love hold strong through the imminent forces that will tear the country apart…?
Thoughts:
The first time I read this story, I felt shaken and felt like I had read a life-changing type of story. These two characters face good times, hard times and have a love that left them so isolated and yet together, it is breathtaking. The author explores history on such a personal level, by the time you reach the end, your heart is full, and there is so much, so much in their life together, that the words love don’t need to be said. They are felt.
