Proclaimers song becomes reality as man walks 1,000 miles to marry lover
Lovestruck Liu Peiwen has taken his Proclaimers-mad fiancée at her word and is walking 1,000 miles just to fall down at her door.

When the 29-year-old proposed to Ling Hsueh, 23, she accepted but joked it was on condition he followed the Scottish band’s hit 500 Miles. She was shocked when Mr Liu set off on a walk from Henan province to her hometown in Guagndong province in south-east China, 1,600km (1,000 miles) away.

Mr Liu said: The distance from here to her hometown in the Guagndong province, in southeastern China, is 1,600 kilometers - which is exactly 1,000 miles. When I get there I hope she is waiting for me and I will ask her again - and I hope she says yes.'

Ling said she had only been joking but he had already gone by the time she realised he took her request seriously. She said: 'He's such a fruitcake. I would have married him anyway and was only joking when I said he had to walk a 1,000 miles.'

Romantic fool. He should've retorted, "I would do anything for love, but I won't do that..."

(Not to say that Meatloaf is any match for the Proclaimers.)
