It’s difficult to be in a long-distance relationship with someone you love and often, many relationships end as the couple can no longer stand the strain. This young couple from China had the same experience and because they could not take it anymore, they decided to break up. Before officially calling it quits, they did something extraordinary and went on a 61-day ‘break-up trip’ so that they could fulfil all the promises they made to each other.

The couple, who were both born in 1994, knew each other when they were studying in college and after graduation, the guy, known only as Pu Pu, decided to go back to his hometown to become a teacher. Meanwhile, the girl, known as Jue Jue, said that she would be staying in the city to pursue a career in becoming a comic artist, which made it difficult for their relationship.
