A bizarre story from an international news agency reveals how Liu Liang, the 68-year-old former chairman of the Bank of China, married his son’s fiancée after persuading his son to end their engagement. Liu reportedly told his son he disapproved of the girl, urging him to break off the relationship. Six months later, the son discovered his father had married the same woman he was told was unsuitable.
This marked Liu Liang’s fourth marriage. After divorcing his first wife, Liu married two younger women before tying the knot with his son’s former fiancée. He first met her when his son introduced her to the family as his girlfriend. Liu claimed she wasn’t a good match for the family’s background, prompting his son to comply and end the relationship.
The revelation left Liu’s son devastated and struggling with severe depression. Meanwhile, Liu himself faced challenges after his fourth marriage. He became embroiled in legal trouble, with courts sentencing him harshly for corruption and bribery charges.
