A man in Fuling county, Chongqing municipality, lost his wife soon after he was diagnosed with liver cancer.

Yu Daohua, 44, is undergoing medical treatment at a local hospital with help from his 80-year-old mother.

This is after his former wife, Ju Feng (not her real name), 35, asked for a divorce.

The couple has married for five years and has a daughter. His wife said the marriage wasn't good.

"We had lived separately for more than half a year and I decided to divorce him, not because of the cancer," the wife said.
