“We will be here for you,” said Han Huimin to his paralyzed ex girlfriend, Wu Yueying. “We will take care of you as long as we are alive.” Han’s wife, Xu Minfang, also standing by Wu’s sick bed, nodded reassuringly at Wu.
This is the 34th year since Wu was paralyzed after a traffic accident back in 1974. At that time, Wu was Han’s first girlfriend. Han attended to her since then, and refused to consider another girlfriend. He was determined to take care of Wu all his life, even at the cost of his own marriage.
Three years later Han finally agreed to find a girlfriend, only at the earnest pleads of Wu’s parents. But Han made it clear that his future wife must promise to help him take care of Wu. Soon he met Xu Minfang, who, deeply moved by his dedication, later became his wife in 1980 and shared his responsibilities for Wu.
On November 8, Han, now 55, went to the drugstore for Wu’s medicine while his wife chatted with Wu at her bedside. For the past 34 years, the couple has worked together like this to take care of Wu.
Xu has been a very attentive nurse to Wu. She carefully keeps Wu warm because coughs and having mucous may become dangerous for paralyzed patients.
The couple also prepared two sets of televisions in Wu’s bedroom so that she is able to watch TV whichever side she turns her head. Han also had Wu’s bed specially made for her convenience. Their meticulous care has been the only reason Wu survived all those years.
The past 34 have tied Han and Wu’s families closely together. Now they are like one family, and are always there for each other."

It is touching.
Bless them all. Beautiful, just beautiful. :)
Just wow..
Beautiful story. What a great man, and what a great wife.
No greater love...
God is Good All the Time.
Wonder if anyone is thinking of organizing a collection drive for cybernetic implants so she can walk again.
Love is beautiful.
Life is beautiful.
We had a man in town with no arms, he was divorced and his ex was remarried when he lost his arms in the accident. The ex and new husband rehabbed him and built him an apartment on their property and cooked most of his meals and that is how it stayed until he died.
I never knew his real name, we all called him John w/no arms, that’s kids for you.
Did you see this? What a beautiful story and an amazing couple.
How truly wonderful. His wife is a special person who desreves a halo of her own.
Why wasn’t the State caring for that poor woman? Isn’t that what socialized medicine is all about?
It’s a sad state of affairs when Texas or China have to execute their populace alright.

It’s so wonderful to read good news for a change. Of course, sad that the former girlfriend became paralyzed, but so wonderful that her former boyfriend and his wife have taken care of her with such love and dedication. Such examples!
