Program Code: 0909346130905009 For four years Rao Pingru, now 92 years old, filled 18 albums with paintings of his wife and their days together, from her childhood days to their wedding day, to the days as she lay dying. The purpose: to commemorate his wife, Mao Meitang, and their nearly 60-year marriage, 22 years of which they spend apart. More than 300 of his watercolors, plus narrative and poems, are compiled in the recently published book "Our Story." Rao also taught himself to play the piano at the age of 90. Video shows Rao played "Waterloo Bridge" ("Auld Lang Syne") during the Shanghai Daily interview. To see the whole love story, please check B6 in our Sunday newspaper. (September 22)
