Man refuses to divorce incapacitated wife
A 60-year-old man continues to touch the hearts of Gengtang villagers in Xinmi, Henan province, after refusing his wife's constant wishes to divorce ever since she was paralyzed and rendered infertile when a wall collapsed on her in 1972.
Geng Shuqing has looked after his wife Hu Cuipin ever since, but she has never wanted to become a burden on Geng and his family.
