in the audience seats of the paris olympics, an eye-catching couple was watching the game hand in hand.

he has gray hair and wrinkles on his face, but is still energetic; she has skin as white as jade and is young and beautiful, as if time has left no trace on her.

this couple, who are 30 years apart in age, are the 73-year-old "real estate godfather" wang shi and his 43-year-old wife tian pujun.

when people around them were still amazed at their age difference, wang shi said affectionately: "the luckiest thing in my life is marrying my wife whom i fell in love with for 12 years."

this real estate tycoon who once dominated the business world is now so obsessed with love.

what kind of woman could make wang shi still be moved at the age of 70? and what kind of love could allow them to cross the 33-year age gap and walk into the palace of marriage hand in hand?

in october 2018, the night sky of new york was as bright as the stars. at a highly anticipated awards ceremony, wang shi stood under the spotlight, his eyes firm and gentle. when he took the trophy and began to give a speech, the audience held their breath.

"thank you, my wife, tian pujun."

this simple sentence was like a bombshell, causing an uproar at the scene. this was the first time that wang shi publicly acknowledged his marriage to tian pujun.

tian pujun in the audience had tears in her eyes but a happy smile on her lips.

for many years, she has been silently enduring doubts and criticisms from the outside world; but today, she has finally received public recognition.

there was warm applause at the scene, and many people were moved by the couple's sincere feelings.

in 1951, wang shi was born into an ordinary family in shantou, guangdong.

china at that time was in a state of disrepair and no one would have thought that this ordinary baby would become a pioneer of reform and opening up and become a big shot in the business world.

in 1987, 36-year-old wang shi made a surprising decision: quit his stable job. in that era, giving up a stable job to start a business was undoubtedly a huge risk.

but wang shi firmly believes that opportunities always come to those who are prepared.

with full of enthusiasm, he came to shenzhen, the forefront of reform and opening up, and started his own entrepreneurial journey.

when he first arrived in shenzhen, wang shi did not have a far-sighted business plan. he started with the most basic business - reselling corn.

with his keen business sense and decisive decision-making ability, he earned 3 million in just one year. this huge amount of start-up capital at the time allowed wang shi to see broader business opportunities.

with financial support, wang shi began to make great strides. his business tentacles extended to all walks of life, from japanese instruments to food, clothing, housing and transportation, covering almost every aspect of people's daily life.

in 1988, wang shi once again demonstrated his business acumen as he keenly perceived the huge potential of the real estate industry.

in his opinion, with the development of the economy and the advancement of urbanization, houses will become a rigid demand for young people and prices will inevitably rise rapidly.

seizing this opportunity, wang shi founded vanke, a real estate company that is now a household name.

wang shi’s foresight was correct, and under his leadership, vanke rose rapidly.

just three years later, in 1991, vanke became one of the first companies to be listed on the shenzhen stock exchange.

however, success often comes with a price.

as wang shi's career took off, his first marriage came to an end.

at that time, wang shi was busy with social engagements and business trips all day and had little time to accompany his wife wang jiangsui and young daughter. he devoted all his energy to his career and neglected the needs of his family.

in 2006, an accident became a turning point in wang shi's marriage.

his ex-wife wang jiangsui was in a car accident and almost blinded in one eye. however, even when his wife suffered such serious injuries, wang shi still had no time to care for her and continued to work in the business world.

the car accident became a turning point in their marriage, cracks appeared in their relationship, and they finally announced their divorce in january 2012.

just two months after his divorce, wang shi made his relationship with tian pujun public, and the couple, who were 30 years apart in age, immediately became the focus of public opinion.

before this, the name tian pujun was still unfamiliar to most people.

she is a young actress who has been working in the entertainment industry for many years. despite her hard work, she has never been able to stand out on the star-studded stage.

at that time, she probably never thought that she would one day become the focus of national attention, let alone become the partner of business tycoon wang shi.

there are many rumors about how the two met, but the truth is unexpected.

they did not meet at the cheung kong graduate school of business as the outside world speculated, but rather they became acquainted during an ordinary business activity.

at that time, tian pujun had already begun trying to transform herself from her acting career to the real estate consulting industry. relying on her connections and abilities, she helped her friends in hong kong to invest in real estate in the mainland.

it was during this process that she had the opportunity to meet real estate tycoons including wang shi.

in january 2012, tian pujun posted a photo of braised pork on a social platform with the caption: "finally i tasted the braised pork cooked by 'benben'." this seemingly ordinary food sharing sparked public speculation because of the nickname "benben."

it turns out that "benben" is wang shi's nickname.

this weibo post was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

in the following months, tian pujun hinted at her close relationship with wang shi on social media platforms many times, and each time it sparked heated discussions among the public.

this ambiguous attitude not only whets the public's appetite, but also casts a veil of mystery over their relationship.

once this relationship between an old and a young couple was made public, it immediately caused an uproar, with voices of doubt and ridicule ringing out.

some people accused tian pujun of being a "mistress" who destroyed wang shi's family; others believed that she was using wang shi's fame and wealth to gain power.

faced with overwhelming criticism, tian pujun chose to face the challenge head-on.

despite the outside world's doubts about their relationship, wang shi and tian pujun's feelings seem to be getting deeper and deeper.

they frequently appear in various public occasions, from the old town of havana, cuba to the green mountains and waters of new zealand, from the night markets in taiwan to the carnival in brazil, their footprints are all over the world.

every time the media took pictures of them, they looked extremely sweet. they walked hand in hand on the street, smiling at each other as if they were an old married couple.

however, wang shi's career suffered two major setbacks during this period, the first of which was after the 2008 wenchuan earthquake.

at that time, vanke only donated 2 million yuan, which seemed particularly stingy compared with other companies that donated hundreds of millions of yuan.

faced with doubts, wang shi not only did not reflect on it, but instead said that "vanke's donation of 2 million is appropriate" and suggested that employees should not donate more than 10 yuan.

these remarks caused huge controversy, and vanke's stock price plummeted 8.66% in just a few days.

the second blow came from the dispute over vanke’s equity from 2015 to 2017. this internal struggle that lasted for a year and a half ended with wang shi’s departure in disgrace.

he lost actual control of vanke, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to wang shi, who founded vanke.

faced with her husband's predicament, tian pujun chose to stand firmly by wang shi. she voiced her support for her husband on social media and expressed her desire to "protect you and make myself successful." this attitude of sharing weal and woe seems to have made their relationship even stronger.

in 2021, 70-year-old wang shi ushered in another important moment in his life - his and tian pujun's daughter was born.

although having a child at an advanced age has caused a lot of controversy, wang shi was extremely excited. he posted a photo of his daughter on social media and called it a "gift from god."

although wang shi has retired behind the scenes today, he still maintains strong energy. he exercises every day and often participates in various social activities with tian pujun.

tian pujun is also working hard to run her own business. the annual tuition of the aristocratic school she opened is nearly one million, which has attracted considerable attention.

on july 26, 2024, the summer sunshine of paris shines on the banks of the seine. on this day, the eyes of the world are focused on this romantic city.

however, among the many spectators, there was a special pair that attracted a lot of attention.

73-year-old wang shi and 43-year-old tian pujun appeared hand in hand in the audience. although the years have left traces on wang shi's face, his eyes are still bright and his every move still reveals the aura of a business tycoon.

tian pujun, who was standing next to him, looked more elegant and calm, and time seemed to have only added more charm to her.

the two of them were wearing couple outfits of similar styles and coordinated colors, strolling in the olympic venues, attracting a lot of attention.

they held hands, sometimes lowered their heads to communicate, sometimes looked at each other and smiled, as if the noise around them had nothing to do with them, and they were only immersed in their own world.

such tacit understanding and intimacy make it hard to believe that there is a 30-year age difference between them.

this scene was quickly spread through the mobile phone cameras of the audience and sparked heated discussions on major social platforms. some people praised their relationship for withstanding the test of time and praised it as an example of "true love has nothing to do with age."

some people also scoffed at this "old-young couple" and questioned whether their relationship was as harmonious as it seemed.

however, in the face of all the confusing comments, wang shi and tian pujun seemed unmoved.

the story of wang shi and tian pujun is like a real-life fairy tale, which has both enviable romance and the test of reality. some people say that they each get what they need, while others say that this is true love.

but no matter what, 12 years of love and persistence have given the best answer.

this story tells us that love has no age limit, happiness should not be bound by worldly views, and everyone has the right to pursue their own happiness.

the experiences of wang shi and tian pujun may give us some inspiration: in this world full of variables, finding a partner who is willing to spend life with you is the most precious wealth.
