A married couple was stunned to find their paths had unknowingly crossed more than a decade before they met.
Mr. Ye, 35, found himself in an old holiday photo of his wife, Ms. Xue, taken in Qingdao in east China in 2000.
It was a vacation trip for both of them when Mr. Ye traveled to Qingdao with a tour group and Ms. Xue visited the city with her mother.

The pair told Chengdu Business Daily that they made the discovery when Mr. Ye was tidying the study room at his mother-in-law’s house on March 4.
‘I was looking at the picture where my wife was sitting in front of the May FourSquare, there’s also a man standing at far back. My reaction was: “Oh wait, that was me!”‘ exclaimed Mr. Ye.
He went back home and found his holiday picture, taken on July 28, 2000, showing the 17-year-old Mr. Ye posing in front of the same landmark in Qingdao.
The couple were shocked when they saw a young boy, wearing a blue T-shirt and black trousers, appearing in both pictures in the same pose.
The couple, both from Chengdu, central China, met each other through their friends in 2011
Mr. Ye, the father of two, said he would visit Qingdao again when his daughters get older
Ms. Xue felt it was a miracle and was stunned by the power of fate.
They shared the pictures with their friends and most of them believed the two were destined to be together.
Mr. Ye first met his wife through his friends in 2011 when he returned to Chengdu, his hometown, after graduating from university in Suzhou, according to the report.
They married a year later and even took their wedding photo in Qingdao.
The couple planned to visit the port city again when their twin daughters get older. They told the reporters they would keep the two pictures safely and cherish them as unforgettable memories.
