We know that finding the right person for ourselves isn’t easy, and one of the things we often hear is “don’t give up, persevere if it’s something you really want!”

But then sometimes the best thing to do is admit defeat, especially when you have tried your best and still fail, just like this guy, Kang in Beijing, China, who pursued his childhood love, Lee for a whopping 10 years.
According to Guangming, both of them were schoolmates and Kang had fallen in love with Lee but she did not like him at all and had rejected his advances many many times.
However, Kang believed that one day, his sincerity would touch Lee’s heart and she would accept him so he persisted in pursuing her. He asked her to go on dates and even when rejected, he would wait for her at her workplace with a bouquet of roses.
Instead of feeling touched by his actions, Lee felt that he was harassing her and disturbing her daily life because everyone thought that he was her boyfriend. And because he was always looking for her, other guys did not dare to approach her because they thought that she was already in a relationship.
When she saw that her friends were all getting into happy relationships, she felt dissatisfied and started to hate Kang and his romantic gestures. Once, he tried to read out a love letter to her in public but she got so annoyed with him that she slapped him. But this made Kang feel that this action actually meant that they were getting closer. Err, maybe he watched too many Korean dramas?

Finally, Lee couldn’t take it anymore and decided to issue an ultimatum to Kang. She actually comes from a rich family background so she decided to offer him RMB1 million (RM628,159) to stay away from her, but he had to sign a contract that declared he would not disturb her anymore. That’s a lot of money!
After careful consideration, Kang agreed to sign but on the day itself he changed his mind and tore up the contract because he felt that love was more important. Lee, who thought she could finally live her life in peace broke down and cried.
She decided to lodged a police report and finally, in front of the police Kang promised that he wouldn’t harass Lee anymore and apologised for his actions. But he also added that he would never give up on her, instead he would use another way to love her. Dude, now’s the time to back out graciously.
After he had finished his speech, Lee was frustrated beyond belief and gave him two tight slaps.
Sometimes perseverance can win a person’s affection but don’t lah take it to a super creeper level!
