His wife told one story to Seattle local TV station. She said a prominent Chinese women's magazine interviewed her when she was in Beijing. The first question the chinese reporter asked was: how did you manage to find such a good and successful hu*****and? She didn't point out that the question is an insult, but talked about finding true love and building a future together instead. She later commented that she understands that the reporter has no intension to insult her, it is just how chinese think what the purpose of life means to many women.
