女孩3岁时与哈佛校警合影 15年后考上哈佛二人校园重逢
女孩3岁时与哈佛校警合影 15年后考上哈佛二人校园重逢

Fifteen years ago, Crystal Wang's father took a photo of her in the arms of a Harvard University police officer Charles Marren during a campus visit. It turns out that the photo was prophetic. Wang is now a member of Harvard's Class of 2023. So, of course, she had to recreate the original image with Officer Charles Marren during move-in.

Certainly, Wang, now 18, looks a lot different. But Marren? He hasn't aged a day.

Wang had just turned 3 years old when her father, Jin, took the original photo while in the area for a business trip. She said she didn't even know the photo existed until her dad showed her after she was accepted into Harvard's dual degree program with Berklee College of Music.

Her dad told her she should try and see if Marren still worked there, but not even knowing his name at the time, Wang was skeptical. She pushed the idea to the back of her mind.

But destiny had other plans. When she posted the original photo on Instagram announcing her college decision, a reporter working for the Harvard Gazette saw it and recognized Marren. She got in touch and set a date for the two to meet again.

When the two reunited, Wang said the connection was true. Marren even gave her his personal cell phone number and told her to call if she ever needed anything.

“It was just a really, really good time,” she said. “I really connected with him.”
