On December 25, Li Kuncheng sweetly expressed his love for his wife Lin Jingen on social platforms: "I am grateful for every bit of the past seven years, and I want to work with her to create the melody of the future."
Netizens who don’t know it must think that this is another model of a sweet couple in the entertainment industry, but they don’t know that Li Kuncheng and Lin Jing’en are representatives of Taiwan’s grandfather-grandson relationship. There is a 40-year age difference between the two, and Lin Jingen even announced that she was with Li Kuncheng when she was 17 years old.
With the development of the times, the age gap has long been no longer a stumbling block for love, and year-end love is also common in the entertainment industry. For example, Wu Qilong and Liu Shishi, who met because of the drama, are 17 years apart. Netizens jokingly said: "Keep an eye on this kindergarten, my future wife will study here." The enviable queen sister-in-law Kun Ling and Jay Chou are also 14 years apart. Their sweet love makes entertainment Friends and fans in the circle are envious.
But when 17-year-old Lin Jingen fell in love with 57-year-old musician Li Kuncheng, why did it cause an uproar? It turned out to be for this reason.
Seven years ago, Lin Jingen was still a 17-year-old girl in her prime, and Li Kuncheng was also a good friend of her father. No one expected that two people would usher in the "highest moment" of their lives because of their love. In 2013, it was revealed that Lin Jingen, who was only 17 years old, was in love with Taiwan's "Vinyl Godfather" Li Kuncheng with the purpose of getting married.
In the interview, the two even admitted generously: "As long as their father agrees, they will get a marriage certificate." This 57-year-old man who can be Lin Jingen's father actually behaves like a teenager when talking about marriage. A shy expression appeared on the young man's face.
After hearing the news, Lin Jingen's father was furious and expressed strong opposition to their relationship. Most fathers love their daughters very much, and no one wants their daughter to marry someone as old as themselves. Father Lin is even more so!
Lin’s father even filed a complaint against Lin Kuncheng in court for “interfering with the family and inducing crime”, determined to discredit him and keep him away from his daughter. But no one expected that during the trial, Lin Jingen insisted that she was not induced and that she and Li Kuncheng truly loved each other. As you can imagine, Lin's father lost the lawsuit.
Lin Jingen cried again and again to be with Li Kuncheng. Even at the cusp of public opinion, he firmly stated: "The war for democracy before the age of 18 has begun." He vowed to fight with his father until the end. Li Kuncheng even said: "If you dare to marry me, I will dare to marry you."
Seven years have passed in the blink of an eye. Even though Li Kuncheng and Lin Jing'en lived a happy life, Lin Jing'en and the Lin family completely broke up. The Lin family even said: "Just treat her as if she doesn't exist." Of course, Lin Jingen has no intention of reconciling with her family. In fact, the love between grandfather and grandchild was beautiful at the beginning, but as the age increases, the generation gap will slowly reveal itself. This kind of love that spans ages will inevitably be worn away by the gap in time and experience.
But there is a reason why Lin Jingen chose a man who was so much older than him to be his boyfriend. Lin's father had been very strict with Lin Jingen since he was a child. As a result, Lin Jingen failed to feel the warmth from his father and even became rebellious. This is why when Li Kuncheng appeared with love and warmth, Lin Jingen jumped in without looking back.
People say that a good childhood heals a lifetime, while a bad childhood takes a lifetime to heal. Maybe this is how Lin Jingen healed his childhood? No matter what, the two have been together for seven years, and the biggest test for them will be in the future. Will they still be so loving in their youth and old age? I think time will give us the answer.
