The couple's relationship started out like a love story of dreams. They were childhood friends from the same village who fell in love with each other.
Wei and Qing (aliases) both grew up in the same city in Jiangxi Province. They lived near each other and had known each other since they were youngsters. Wei is 4 years older than Qing and always looked after her the way a big brother would. Their relationship gradually began to change ever so subtlety, eventually becoming a romantic relationship.

It turned out that twenty-some years ago, when Bao was a young bachelor, he had an affair with Wei's mother. Bao lived next door to Wei's parents, but the husband was frequently away. Gradually Bao and the young, lonely woman became friends, and then the friends turned into lovers. Their affair lasted for about two years. After Wei's mother became pregnant with Wei, Bao met someone else, got married, and had a baby named Wei.

The couple and the father went for a DNA test only to confirm the suspicions about their blood relationship
The young couple decided to do a paternity test. In early November, after taking blood samples from Wei and Bao Gen at the Furong Forensic Centre of the No. 2 Provincial People’s Hospital, they carried out a DNA test. The results came out very quickly: the probability that they were blood relatives was over 99.9% and, according to international practice, this supported the fact that a biological father-son relationship existed between them. This meant that Wei and Qing were brother and sister.
