Married couple stunned to learn they shared picture frame decade before they met

New Delhi : A married couple in China was stunned to see themselves sharing a picture frame together decades before they formally met each other.

Mr Ye (35) spotted himself on an old picture of wife, Ms Xue, taken in Qingdao of east China in 2000.

Both had visited the place on a vacation trip. Ye had gone there with a travellers group, while Xue was there with her mother.

The pair told Chengdu Business Daily that they made the discovery when Mr Ye was tidying the study room at his mother-in-law's house on March 4.

'I was looking at the picture where my wife was sitting in front of the May Four Square, there's also a man standing at far back. My reaction was: "Oh wait, that was me!"' exclaimed Mr Ye.

Ms Xue has termed this as a miracle and called it a power of fate.

They also shared the rare picture with their friends. 

Mr Ye first met his wife through his friends in 2011 when he returned to Chengdu, his hometown, after graduating from university in Suzhou, according to the report.

They married a year later and even took their wedding photo in Qingdao.
