Joey and Hao met in their 1st year of Senior High School, in Xiangyang, China. They started to know about each other in 12th grade, when their class head teacher arranged Hao to sit at the back seat of Joey. They developed a deeper friendship when both of them became an undergraduate student in Beijing. In 2014 late Spring when they were about to complete the 1st year of Freshman, they decided to develop the friendship into a relationship, where both of them have been loving, understanding, and supporting each other. In 2019 July, Joey & Hao registered marriage license in China, and went to the U.S for Joey's master's degree study. Having experienced setting up in a new country, and the Covid-19 pandemic, they decided to hold their wedding ceremony & reception on June 2nd, Thursday, in Bloomington, Indiana.
