An elderly couple married for more than 60 years died on the same day in Fanggaoping township in Tuanfeng county, Hubei province.

After Wang Qingshan, 88, died at home around noon on Nov 12, his 84-year-old wife grew silent and also died that evening.

Local villagers said the couple used to enjoy a happy and harmonious family life including four generations.

Everyday Wang and his wife could be seen hand-in-hand at local bazaars or playing cards and watching movies together.

Wang is said to have never had even a minor quarrel with his wife.
