Married for 65 years, couple perishes same day
A man and his wife, married for 65 years, died on the same day at their home in Yizheng, Jiangsu province.
Liu Lingbo and Wei Xiuzheng got married when both of them were 18 years old. In 2006, Wei was bedridden after suffering a stroke. Liu, too, was confined to the bed five months ago after his knees started giving him trouble.
