Cui–Hu conjecture on two abundant elements

Let F\mathcal{F} be a finite family of sets that is union-closed, meaning that the union of any two members belongs to F\mathcal{F}. Suppose that every set in F\mathcal{F} has size at least 22. Cui–Hu conjecture. There exist at least two elements such that each belongs to more than half of the sets in F\mathcal{F}. This stronger assertion would imply Frankl's union-closed sets conjecture. It remains open according to the source, which presents it as a conjecture by Cui and Hu.
