"I was a third-year college student learning business administration in Sierra Leone," she says. "The only thing I knew about China was the kung fu star Jackie Chan, whom I had seen in movies."
Yang and Yang Yan met through friends and soon fell for each other, even though they did not speak a common language.
For the 55-year-old Yang Yan, it was a romance he'd been waiting for 20 years after seeing a sculpture of an African girl. When he saw Yang, instinct told him this was the woman he'd been waiting for.
Yang was also drawn to this man with a long beard. "The first time I saw him, I was attracted to him," she says.
"He is very different. He likes to visit different places and mingle with people. Even though he doesn't speak English, he could still have fun with people, with action. He also likes nature."
