Chinanews, May 4th. After 27 years of marriage, Bill Gates, one of the co-founders of Microsoft Corporation of the United States, announced the end of their marriage with Melinda in a joint statement on the 3rd local time.

  In the joint statement, the two said: "After a lot of thinking and attempts on the relationship, we made the decision to end the marriage. In the past 27 years, we have raised three children and established a comprehensive coverage. The world is a foundation that aims to allow everyone to live a healthy and fulfilling life. We still share the mission based on the above beliefs and will continue to work together in the foundation, but we no longer believe that we can grow together in the next part of our lives . When we start this new life, we hope to give us family space and privacy." (End)
