Romantic Miser
We now turn our attention to a slightly more romantic story of a Chinese gentleman who hoarded his coins for an incredibly moving dream. This would be a far loftier goal than covering dental treatment bills, to be sure!
The hero of this next story was called Liang, who, at the age of 9, was totally smitten. He believed that the only way to prove his love for the girl of his dreams was to swear that one day, he would purchase her an engagement ring.
Staying On The Path
Over the following 20 years, Liang kept as much spare change as was humanly possible. This may not have been Anders’ 45 years-long saga, but he was hoarding more than just pennies. It was any kind of change.
Life has a sad way of splitting lovers up, and Liang and his sweetheart were driven apart to different cities. Not that this stopped Liang from holding onto his dream. He was not the kind of man that made oaths lightly, and no amount of time or distance could stop him.
