30 May – Chinese actor Liu Ye admitted that his life could have spiralled out of control if not for his wife Anais Martane. As reported on Epoch Times, the actor, who appeared on the CCTV show, "The Reader" recently, dedicated a passage from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's "The Little Prince" to his wife, that read, "To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world..." Speaking about his relationship with his French wife, Liu revealed that his hectic schedule and nature of work used to make him physically and mentally exhausted in the past, and that there was even a time when people began questioning his talent as an actor. Said Liu, it was during that time that he began to have emotional problems. He suffered from insomnia and would have to rely on alcohol and sleeping pills to get some sleep - to an extent that it began to scare him. "I met Anna just as I was nearly hitting rock bottom. Since our marriage, she took care of me like I was a child. She's like the sunshine, always happy," he said.
