Rekindled Friendship After 55 Years
A 77-year-old Japanese man, Tatsuhiko Yamamoto, has reconnected with an 81-year-old Swiss woman, Marlies, whom he met at the 1970 Osaka Expo.
Yamamoto was 22 when he visited the Expo and met Marlies, a staff member at the Swiss Pavilion. They took a photo together in front of the "Tree of Light" pavilion, and Yamamoto promised to print and bring it to her on another day.
He felt "admiration not love" at first sight, but the encounter had a lasting impact on him.
Thanks to Swiss staff at the same event this year, Yamamoto was able to renew his friendship with Marlies, moving many people online.
The story of their rekindled friendship has touched the hearts of many, a testament to the power of connection and friendship.
